Ingredients

What you need to prepare is here. I use Kasumi's recipe as a reference.

1 sweet potato
10g (0.35oz) butter
some black sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp mirin
1/2 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp sugar

Directions

Cut sweet potato into pieces and soak in water.



Put the drained sweet potatoes into a rice cooker and add soy sauce, mirin, honey and sugar. Tear off a piece of butter and sprinkle it over the rice, then start cooking rice.



When the rice is done cooking, toss well with the sauce that has accumulated at the bottom and serve in a bowl. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and it is ready to serve!

How does the rice cooker taste like?

The sauce gives it a nice shine and makes it even more delicious! Take a bite...


It's so soft and chewy! When you bite into it, it is soft and chewy, and the sweetness of the savory sweet potato spreads on your tongue. The sweet and salty sauce with honey and soy sauce enhances the taste of the tasty taro! The butter also adds a rich and mellow flavor.


The rice cooker takaimo is a healthy way to enjoy the taste of takaimo, as it is not deep-fried. It is a cosy snack that is easy to eat, but even a small amount will fill you up. Enjoy it with hot milk or hot tea.
