Japanese Sweet Potatoes, or Satsumaimo, are a culinary delight known for their reddish-purple skin and creamy, pale-yellow flesh. When cooked, they have a drier, fluffier texture and a distinctively sweet, nutty, and chestnut-like flavor, which is less watery than orange sweet potatoes. They are exceptionally delicious when simply roasted or steamed, allowing their natural sweetness to shine. A favorite for both savory dishes and desserts.
