KINOKUNIYA will be offering "Kinmitsuimo Mont Blanc" and "Kinmitsuimo Pie" as sweets developed jointly with a sweet potato farmer. They will be available from October 1.

Kinmitsu sweet potato Mont Blanc

Kinmitsuimo no Montblanc" is a sweet potato dessert consisting of a smooth baked sweet potato pudding and a layer of baked sweet potato whipped cream with Kinmitsuimo anko (sweet potato bean paste) kneaded into it, topped with a diced baked sweet potato. The pudding and whipped cream are made in two layers, so you can enjoy the rich flavor of the pudding alone, or you can enjoy the three different flavors of pudding, cream, and baked sweet potato. You can enjoy the contrast of flavors, tastes, and textures with the aroma of sweet potatoes spreading softly.

Kinmitsu sweet potatoes take more than two years from soil preparation, and their sweetness is said to be brought out five times faster than that of ordinary sweet potatoes through a unique ripening technique, resulting in their honey, sweetness, and aroma. The price of the Kinmitsu Sweet Potato Mont Blanc is 410 yen (tax included, the same below).

Kinmitsuimo Pie

Kinmitsuimo Pie" was developed based on the long-selling "KINOKUNIYA Apple Pie" that has been made by KINOKUNIYA for more than half a century, and is packed with sweet potatoes. The pie is filled with a paste of baked sweet potato, which is cut into large pieces with the skin on so that you can enjoy the sweet and flavorful sweet potato all the way to the skin, and wrapped in a pie crust with a light and moist texture. The sweetness of the sweet potato and the savory flavor of the pie can be enjoyed. The price is 918 yen for the No. 5 size and 302 yen per piece.
