Super Arcs Toukou

Of course, the ARCS supermarket is also selling sweet potatoes.
First of all, this price makes our writer happy.
For a roasted sweet potato, which tends to be expensive, 198 yen (excluding tax) is cheap!

It looks completely different from the potatoes we saw until now.

The sweet potato here have an interesting texture: the fiber of the food is still present and have a high water content. The potato’s natural flavour and texture are packed inside.

Of course, the roasted sweet potato is hot when it’s “served,” but the potato here is delicious even after cooling down.
In other words, hot or cold, this potato is delicious for its price.

Every single roasted potato was unique

Our writer thought that sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, there is no way that one can taste THIS different from one to another.
This is embarrassing to think of how wrong he was. (He said it by himself)

It was like each shop had its own personality: the amount of water, the sweetness, the texture, everything is so different that it’s fun to try several types of sweet potatoes out.
Of course, it depends on the variety, but it is our recommended "sweet" you can eat deliciously at this time of the year!
