Traditional sweet served to sudden visitors

Ikinari-dango

The name comes from how this dish can be made ‘all of a sudden’ by wrapping some sweet potato in dough and cooking. It’s perfect for that sudden, unexpected visitor. Sweet potatoes are loaded with dietary fiber, vitamins, carotene and minerals.
