Here is a picture of my friend Tim buying Ishi Yaki Imo from a vendor. The vendor is selling sweet potatoes cooked over hot stones. This is a familiar site in the cold autumn to spring months in Japan.
On a cold day, a warm sweet potato hits the spot.
The potato seems sweeter when eaten piping hot. What a treat. Thanks for sharing with us Tim.
These trucks can be seen around in Japan. Near major attractions, in front of the National Museum.
It can also be seen cruising neighborhood. We could here the chant of "Imo, Ishi Yaki Imo" piped over a loud speaker from our hotel room. My friends were wondering what that noise was at night.
BTW, that is not Tim's new Boba Fett jet pack. Rather, it is his backpack with a customized umbrella holder (patent pending, please contact his authorized representatives for distribution info.). No he cannot fly, yet.
