OIMO TOKYO's Sweet Potato Canelé
In a recent feature on the popular television program "Mezamashi TV," OIMO TOKYO's Sweet Potato Canelé captured the attention of dessert enthusiasts across Japan. This irresistible treat blends the rich, roasted sweetness of Japanese sweet potatoes with the exquisite, crispy texture of the traditional French pastry, the canelé.

The Power of Recognition
Having appeared on "Mezamashi TV" three times this year, OIMO TOKYO’s Sweet Potato Canelé has garnered significant media attention. It was praised as a surprising new sensation in the dessert world, categorized as a “Neo Wagashi,” or modern Japanese confectionery, and highlighted for its hybrid nature, combining the cultural essence of sweet potatoes with French pastry techniques.
Endorsed by Luxury Hospitality
The demand for OIMO TOKYO's Sweet Potato Canelé continues to rise as it has been selected as the welcome treat for guests checking into The Peninsula Tokyo's luxurious suites. The hotel's French Executive Chef has personally endorsed this unique creation, ensuring that only the finest ingredients and techniques are utilized to enhance the guest experience. This partnership speaks volumes about the quality and appeal of OIMO TOKYO's offerings, elevating them to an international stage.
What Makes It Special?
Exquisite Ingredients
The sweet potatoes used in the making of this canelé are specially sourced from Tanegashima, Japan. Steeped in tradition, these sweet potatoes are aged for three months and then roasted over charcoal for two hours and fifteen minutes. This meticulous process preserves the potatoes' inherent sweetness and creates a deep, satisfying flavor profile.
A Perfect Blend
The canelé batter incorporates sweet potato puree, enhanced further by a unique blend of rice flour sourced from Kagoshima and Kumamoto. Each canelé undergoes a meticulous baking process, where it is skillfully turned several times to achieve that perfect crispy exterior while maintaining a soft, moist interior. The result is an exceptional hybrid of flavors and textures that tantalizes the taste buds.
Elegant Presentation
Beyond taste, the Sweet Potato Canelé excels in presentation. Packaged in luxurious, champagne gold packaging adorned with traditional Japanese check patterns, it reflects an elegant fusion of Japanese and French aesthetics. This makes it an ideal gift, whether for oneself or a loved one.
