S10E02 Satsumaimo: Sweet Potatoes
In Japan, sweet potatoes are a beloved staple, cherished for their versatility in dishes such as baked, fried, and stewed creations, as well as in various desserts. Historically, they have been a crucial resource during times of food scarcity. Today, they even contribute to cooling buildings in the summertime. Researcher Hashimoto Ayuki joins us to explore exciting new methods of savoring this adaptable tuber. Additionally, in our Plus One segment, we highlight creative approaches to mobile baked potato vending.
