It is a simple Japanese confectionery that makes the most of the sweetness of sweet potatoes, and is popular not only as a souvenir, but also as a snack to be enjoyed while walking around Asakusa, where the main store and several other stores are located.
It is delicious eaten as it is, but the official Funawa website introduces an even more delicious way to eat it. It is to "brown the pancakes in a pan with butter.

This is an arranged recipe that has been talked about on the Web for some time now. The En-En-Eating editorial staff also tried it, albeit belatedly!
Funawa "Yaki-imo Yokan (Baked Sweet Potato Cake)
The recipe is simple and straightforward. Just put the desired amount of butter in a frying pan and cook each side of the sweet potato Yokan.
Melt butter in a frying pan and bake it.
Use a low heat so as not to burn them. When the whole surface is golden brown, it is time to cook.
Small surfaces if possible.
The crispy, savory surface is soft and buttery when you bite into it. The texture is hard like the skin of baked potatoes.
It is recommended to bake it firmly.
The inside is warmed up to enhance the sweetness and give it a crunchy texture. Combined with the mellow flavor of butter, it has evolved into a very rich taste. The two layers of "crust" and "filling" give a variety of flavors and textures.
Crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside
The richness of the milk flavor can be enhanced by adding whipped cream or ice cream. You can also enjoy the contrast between the hot sweet potato yokan and the cool cream.
It melts very quickly if you put it on top, so you might want to serve it apart.
We also tried a toaster baking arrangement. The surface becomes hard just like the butter baked in a toaster, and it looks like a skin. The inside is sticky and flaky. Here is one that is more like a baked sweet potato.
Try the easier toaster baking method
The surface will be dry and hard to brown (depending on the toaster).
It is tasty enough on its own, but after trying it with butter, you may feel it is a bit lacking. If you are not comfortable with pan frying, toasting the toast with butter may be a good way to get closer to the original.
Simple and tasty, just like baked sweet potatoes themselves.
By putting in a little effort, you can enjoy baked sweet potato yokan in a pleasant and delicious way. Why not try it for a holiday snack?
