Tsukiji Chitose, the long-established wagashi shop, has released its seasonal Yaki-imo Mochi for another year at its Haneda Airport locations.
Two Kinds of Sweet Potato
Arriving just ahead of the season, the Yaki-imo Mochi returns again this year. Soft mochi kneaded with Ayamurasaki sweet potato wraps around a rich filling made by baking Tanegashima-grown Anno sweet potato. Condensed milk, egg yolk, and butter are blended into the filling for a flavor reminiscent of sweet potato pie, making it a specialty where you can taste two kinds of sweet potato.
Perfect alongside a cup of tea, it also makes a thoughtful small gift for friends and family. It's a limited-time item, so it will go off sale once stock runs out.

Tempura Senbei <Renewed to Be Even More Delicious>
The long-loved Tempura Senbei has been reformulated from the ground up for an even better flavor.
6-piece box: ¥810 (tax included) / 12-piece box: ¥1,620 (tax included)
Made with carefully selected, naturally sweet shrimp and paired with Iwatsu negi, one of Japan's three great green onion varieties, for a considered choice of ingredients.
To capture the flavor and aroma of kakiage tempura, Suruga Bay sakura shrimp, natural wakame from Hyogo Prefecture, and Hokkaido onion are combined.
The result is a crisp, light texture in which the umami of each ingredient layers together for a deep, well-rounded flavor.

Unwashed Burdock Tempura Senbei
