patata dolce

Every Sunday we see this guy selling yakiimo (roasted sweet potatoes)

The name of his business is Patata Dolce (sweet potato)

Finally got up the courage to buy and wham! the sales pitch

Most times I buy yakiimo from Don Quijote because they are the cheapest…213 yen (tax included) a piece, not sure about the weight because Don Quijote sells them per piece not by weight

The way these yakiimo vendors sell is by weight.

This particular guy was selling two types (beniazuma & silk sweet) and they were 100 grams for 150 yen

His sign says that the yakiimo ranges from 350 grams to 600 grams.

And if I buy 3 he'll cut the price down from 1300 yen to 1000 yen for all 3.

These were huge, but they were so junk, like it wasn't cooked long enough.

I stuck 2 into the freezer, so we'll be eating these for the next couple of weeks.
