Yum

They use ice cream from premarche, kyoto, and combine it with sweet potato.
Very nice lady. She didn't have sweet potato baked ready when I went, which was a bit disappointing, but she was so nice and gave me a small leftover piece as topping on my ice cream for free.

Hidden gem 🍠🍦🌱

Terrific find a bit aside from the big crowds. Thanks Happy Cow 🐮

What a combination, never saw that before but it works 😋

🍦🍠 Ice Glazed Sweet Potato (700¥ | 4.5$)

Not cheap but absolutely worth a try.

Choose between two flavors of ice cream
- Roasted Brown Rice Caramel
- Kingdom or Tropical Magic

Glazed sweet potato

I had the glazed sweet potato snack, without ice cream sadly as it was too cold out. You just get it in a plastic bag, not freshly made, but I liked snacking it on the way to the train station. The roasted sweet potato is also good, still warm and easy to eat on the go.

HI, we tried to find this place yesterday as we are staying in the area but could not find it at the address on the Happy Cow listing. Any tips on how we can find it? We really would love to try it so that would be helpful and much appreciated. Thanks.

Why was this best thing I have ever tried

I got the salted caramel gelato with sweeet potatoes. It was amazing. The sweet potatoes were soft on the inside but crispy in the outside. If you are around this area, please come here. It’s not a big place/ there is no seating area.

Tasty Japanese snack

Had the sweet potato plus brown rice ice cream. Kinda expensive compared to other Japanese food. Tasty!

Tasty snack on the go

In wintertime they understandably don’t sell gelato. But the roasted sweet potatoes were uncommonly good. A delicious, healthy snack on the go. #Veganuary
