1116 is coming again this year

What comes to mind when you see "1116" is
As expected, I think it's about the potato farmer (^ ^)
November 11th is "Iimo Day"!

Pictured below is his famous statue of Noguni Sokan.
This statue is at the roadside station in Kadena.
Have you all seen it?!

This person is the one who popularized “potato” in Japan (＾∇＾)ノ
Sweet potatoes from China to Okinawa,
After that, it seems that Nagasaki spread to all over Japan.

It seems to have happened about 400 years ago.
Even now, the image of Kyushu and Okinawa is strong when it comes to sweet potatoes.
I think there are remnants of that time,
I guess the climate and soil that can be cultivated deliciously also affect it (^ ^)

Speaking of us Okashigoten,
I think there is an image of "red sweets shop",

The popular red sweet potato tart is an average per day
Since we manufacture about 9 pieces,
The red sweet potato tart alone has a great amount of red sweet potato.
I can imagine using it（・∇・）ノ

In fact, we steamed red potatoes purchased from farmers,
The paste that can be used for sweets is
About 1 tons are made in a day (^ ^)

Thank you very much to all the farmers (* ^ ∇ ^ *)
Delicious red sweet potatoes made with the love of all the farmers
We will continue to treasure sweets,
We want to reach out to as many people as possible!
