Otaru Sweet House

Sweet potato doesn't seem to be a very popular ingredient for desserts. However, the soft, sweet, starchy tuber holds a special place in my heart be it savory or sweet.

Caramelized daigaku imo? Yes please!
Sweet potato fries? Why, sure! Pile them on!
Vanilla-scented sweet potato mash? Mmm..That sounds better than regular mashed potatoes!

To my delight, I discovered that the Otaru Sweet House at the Isetan Hokkaido Fair had not one but THREE sweet potato desserts!


Sweet Potato Pie

Caramelized sweet potato puree with a layer of custard in the middle. Carb-laden goodness!


Chocolate Sweet Potato Pudding

Sweet potato puree, pudding and dark chocolate drizzle. Sweet potato and chocolate may seem like a strange pairing but all I can say is..don't knock it till you've tried it.


Full Moon

Caramel cream, pudding and caramelized sweet potato puree. This reminds me of a caramel purin with sweet potato on top.
