Spend winter in Japan the right way at the Sweet Potato Expo at Keyaki Hiroba plaza located just outside Saitama Super Arena. From big-time yakiimo makers to independent food trucks, discover 31 of the best sweet potato vendors and vote for your favourite in the National Yakiimo Grand Prix. Eat sweet potatoes the traditional way – straight out of the stone oven – or try them in soup, chips, pies and croquettes.
The event this year features a free area where visitors can casually enjoy sweet potato desserts and dishes, while the main venue, showcasing sweet potatoes from across Japan, requires an entry fee.
