Sweet potato digging is an autumn tradition that all Japanese kindergarten and early elementary kids partake in October through December. In Japanese sweet potatoes are called “satsumaimo”.

Sweet potatoes are extremely popular in Japan and can be found being peddled around your neighbourhood during the autumn and winter months, and in all types of Japanese dishes in homes and restaurants. If you hear a person outside calling “Yaaaaa-kiiiii-moe, iiiiiiishii yaaaa-kiii-mooooe.”, grab some coins and run outside to buy a red-hot imo from an ishi-yakiimo seller.

History:
Sweet potatoes were not a natural crop in Japan. However, in the mid-18th there were several years of crop failures and nationwide starvation. A bright and optimistic man named Aoki decided to try introducing sweet potatoes to help solve the problem. Sweet potatoes were first planted in Saitama, and still today Saitama is known for its sweet potatoes. If you visit Kawagoe, you can get sweet potato ice-cream, candy and more. Chiba also has a lot of sweet potato farms.

Enjoy a nice autumn day outside central Tokyo and go sweet potato digging. We posted five recommended locations to go Japanese sweet potato digging. Details on the blog.
