“Oyatsuimo Yotsuya”, the first local potato sweets specialty store in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture

2020.12.30

We sell sweets made from Ikinari dango made from Kyushu Beniharu, baked potatoes, Oimo Mont Blanc, and other sweet potatoes that have been aged to bring out the natural sweetness. We will deliver products that make you happy and overflowing during the “shun” when you enjoy the “season” while changing the variety of sweet potatoes according to the season.

"Oyatsuimo Yotsuya" where you can enjoy delicious seasons and moments

“Oyatsuimo Yotsuya” is a sweets specialty store opened by Kagashiya Co., Ltd. in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture.

“Sweet potato” is a food that has been loved in Japan for a long time, has high nutritional value, has many nutrients such as dietary fiber and vitamin C, and is also called a semi-complete food. As a store that conveys the charm of sweet potatoes, we have opened the sweet potato sweets specialty store “Oyatsuimo Yotsuya” with the desire to have local people and tourists come to eat delicious sweet potatoes.

We sell a wide range of sweets from Japanese to Western, from Ikinari dango to roasted sweet potatoes and Mont Blanc using sweet potatoes.

Discerning sweets are from discerning potatoes

Ikinari dango, the main product of “Oyatsuimo Yotsuya”, uses “Kouharu” from Kyushu. “Red Haruka” has a high sugar content and is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and dietary fiber.

In addition, even if the sweetness is strong, the aftertaste is refreshing and elegant, and it is a delicious potato that can be baked or cooled. Suddenly, I decided to use Beniharu because it was as sweet as the sweetness of bean paste and I searched for delicious potatoes even if it was cold.

In addition, the sweet potatoes used in our shop are aged in a cool and dark place for at least 2 months after cultivation to make them even sweeter. For products such as baked potatoes and chilled potatoes that you can directly enjoy, we select and provide the most suitable sweet potato varieties according to the season.

To enjoy the natural sweetness of potatoes, stick to them most. This is the sweets making that Oyatsuimo Yotsuya aimed at.

Handmade by craftsmen with all their heart

Because sweet potatoes are made from natural materials and are delicate, craftsmen are indispensable for making sweets in our shop. Craftsmen make potato sweets one by one by hand, such as the strength to wrap the dumplings suddenly and the fine adjustment of the composition with other ingredients.

The five senses of the craftsmen who face potatoes every day and the materials that are thoroughly particular about create the finest potato sweets.
