In a quiet street in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture, there is a small shop with a sweet aroma wafting through the air. "Yakiimo Yuraku" is a roasted sweet potato specialty store that has gained secret popularity among locals and tourists. The appeal of this store goes beyond just roasted sweet potatoes. Here, traditional Japanese treats blend with the spirit of modern hospitality.
At Yakiimo Yuraku, they use two types of sweet potatoes: Silk Sweet and Beniharuka. Both are high-quality sweet potatoes carefully selected by the shop owner couple. Noteworthy is the "pot-roasting" cooking method. By roasting in this traditional way, the sweetness of the sweet potatoes is concentrated, creating a dense texture.
One bite and you'll be amazed by its incredible sweetness. Customers often say, "I've never had roasted sweet potatoes this sweet." Indeed, 500 yen is a bit higher than regular roasted sweet potatoes, but the taste is certainly worth the price.
The charm of Yakiimo Yuraku lies not only in its delicious roasted sweet potatoes. Known for warm service, the store run by a couple enjoys great reputation. Coffee service and small gifts for children demonstrate their attentive care.
Many customers rave about their "very pleasant service," and it's understandable. This kind hospitality, coupled with the delicious roasted sweet potatoes, has created many repeat customers.
Yakiimo Yuraku is open from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. On your way to Ureshino Hot Springs, if you see the flags, be sure to stop by.
Before or after a relaxing spa experience, savor the sweet, fluffy roasted sweet potatoes. This might become a new way to enjoy Ureshino tourism. However, it's a popular shop, so it might sell out. Visiting early is recommended.
Yakiimo Yuraku is more than just a roasted sweet potato store. It is a special place where traditional Japanese treats and warm-hearted hospitality come together.
When visiting Ureshino, why not stop by for this small happiness alongside the hot springs? It will surely become a lovely memory that warms both your heart and body.
