Deep Fried Sweet Potetoes with YUCa’s New Tea
Imo-kenpi (deep-fried sweet potatoes) is a traditional Japanese confection made by slicing sweet potatoes into thin strips, frying them, and coating them with sugar. Originally from Kochi Prefecture, it is loved for its gentle sweetness and simple flavor that highlights the natural taste of the ingredients. For this tea pairing, we’ve selected YUCa’s Tea New Tea. New Tea is a special type of green tea made from the very first leaves harvested each year, typically released in early May. In Japan, both freshly harvested tea and rice are considered seasonal treasures and are deeply tied to cultural traditions.They have long been enjoyed as auspicious, luxurious symbols of the season.
The sweet potato’s natural sweetness and the rich, caramel-like coating are beautifully balanced by the New Tea’s fresh aroma and crisp, refreshing taste, gently cleansing the palate.Enjoy this simple yet elegant moment of Japanese indulgence.
