Details
The event brings the 'Yakiimo' (roasted sweet potato) culture to the world, gathering establishments that boldly engage with sweet potatoes to contribute to its development. The festival features four main categories: 'Sweet Potato Symphony' for diverse textures, 'Sweet Potato Science' for new possibilities, 'Tracing the Sweet Potato' to showcase ingredient depth, and 'Crossover' for unexpected combinations. Visitors can enjoy creatively conceived dishes such as 'Mase Soba', featuring noodles made with sweet potato paste topped with creamy soup and bacon, and 'Chige', a spicy soup with a kimchi-based broth. The experience aims to satisfy both the heart and body with delightful sounds and contrasting textures that blend crunchy and crispy elements with smooth and fluffy ones.
