Indulge in the Sweetness of Goto's Organic Anno Sweet Potatoes
The ‘Melt-in-Your-Mouth Sweet Potato Fair’ is set to launch on September 3, 2025, at all Cafe & Books Bibliotheque locations and their sister pancake shop. This special event showcases the exquisite organic Anno sweet potatoes sourced from the Goto region in Nagasaki, renowned for their exceptional sweetness, boasting a sugar level exceeding 30 degrees.
The Anno sweet potatoes, cultivated by Goto Shoten Sato no Imoya, are famous for their voluptuous sweetness, described as resembling honey. These delights are harvested and cared for meticulously, reflecting a commitment to quality right from the soil. When you cut them open, a rich syrup oozes out, making them the ideal star for the fair.
At the fair, indulge in a variety of unique autumnal creations featuring sweet potatoes as the main ingredient, combined with delightful flavors from salt butter, honey lemon, black sugar, and more. Each dessert serves as a delicious homage to the season and the bountiful ingredients at our disposal.
