Imo-sweet shops, Candy Alley
×Imo-kenpi & Sweet-potato Ice
Why you must eat itSweet potato cut thin, fried and glazed as imo-kenpi, and a purple-potato ice. Kawagoe's potato sweets gather here. The kenpi is crisp and sweet, easy to nibble on the move. The ice is deep purple, the potato flavour intact. Even in this sweet alley, it is the most Kawagoe plate of all.
Candy Alley lines up shops selling sweet-potato sweets — kenpi, imo-natou candy, purple-potato ice, potato chips. Kawagoe has been a sweet-potato growing and trading hub since Edo times, with the "Kawagoe imo" brand. Potato sweets are the alley's stars, sold by weight or in small snacking bags.
