Imo (Japanese sweet potato) is great. Why you would need to imitate it is a decent question but here it is. These guys are kind of pastry shells filled with a sweet cake kind of thing. On top is a thin layer of custard. It is delicious, it contains zero sweet potato and it doesn’t really look like sweet potato. Why? Why not.

1 opinion for Imitation Imo

It seems logical that they would make an imitation of something to be consumed in the off-season, when sweet potatoes aren’t eaten as much… but this is Japan we’re talking about. Land of the Rising Genteiban.
