“Maru hoshiimo” is made from carefully selected sweet potatoes grown in the Hitachinokuni Kashima-Rokko region. These sweet potatoes are cultivated with great care by skilled “imoshi” (sweet potato artisans) and aged for over 60 days in an “imo-gura” (sweet potato storage). The first generation of the business produced dried sweet potatoes during the agricultural off-season and supplied them to wholesalers in Hitachinaka City and Tokai Village. The third generation, unable to forget the sweetness and chewy texture of semi-dried hoshiimo experienced in childhood, decided to recreate that taste as a product. Reviving production after approximately 59 years, this premium dried sweet potato embodies the craftsmanship of the imoshi, offering a rich sweetness and a uniquely soft texture.
