Funawa, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop founded in 1902, is renowned for its signature product, Imo Yokan (sweet potato jelly). The story of Imo Yokan began when founder Kazusuke Kobayashi, originally a sweet potato wholesaler in Tokyo's Asakusa Kotobuki district, developed this confection as an affordable alternative to the expensive traditional yokan of that time. Today, Funawa’s Imo Yokan is known nationwide as an iconic Tokyo specialty.
Made simply from sweet potatoes, sugar, and a pinch of salt, Imo Yokan emphasizes the natural flavor of its ingredients. It contains no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavorings, making it safe and enjoyable for all ages, from young children to seniors. Its gentle sweetness and smooth, comforting texture have garnered countless fans.
Imo Yokan can be enjoyed on its own or creatively transformed by heating it in an oven for a fragrant roasted flavor similar to baked sweet potatoes. Alternatively, lightly frying it with butter in a pan gives it a delightful Western twist.
