Konatotamago

The wait for it to thaw at home is part of enjoying this sweet potato. Reports say Konatotamago’s popular version is handed over frozen, then finished with a caramelised top after you order. Once it has thawed, the crisp caramel contrasts with a smooth, creamy centre. Some diners also praise the flavour of the base beneath it, giving the sweet a range of textures. Some find the sweet potato flavour pronounced, while others describe a light, smooth mouthfeel. Tastes differ, but the caramelised surface and contrasting centre are what make this treat memorable.

To add something alongside the sweet potato, consider the egg pudding or a cream puff. Some diners describe the pudding as very soft and creamy, while others mention its egg flavour; the cream puff has been described as having a custard filling. For a cake, there are reports of customers choosing the tarte aux fraises or mille-feuille.

There is no dine-in service, so everything is for takeaway. It suits a stop in Okusawa to choose a sweet and enjoy it at home whenever you like.
