'Roasted potatoes', which are stone-baked in a special oven from Lawson, are now available, and they are soggy and sweet, reminiscent of sweet potatoes.

On November 2, 2021, Lawson began offering 'roasted potatoes, ' which are stone-baked in a special oven. The newly introduced grilled potato uses 'Kouharu', which is characterized by its smooth texture and sweetness. In order to further enhance the sweetness, it was stored in a storage for 45 days after harvesting, aged, and baked in a newly introduced 'dedicated oven', so I actually ate it.

When I entered the store, I found a newly introduced special oven for baking on the cashier counter.

This special oven has a structure in which the baked potatoes are heated together with the bag in the transparent case on the upper side.

purchase. There was a note on the special oven saying 'Please do not touch it because it is hot', but there is no problem even if you touch the temperature immediately after purchase. It was a lukewarm temperature.

This time I will take it home and try it.

The size is over 20 cm, and it is a fairly long and slender shape.

The actual weight is 144g.

Below is how I split it by hand.

It is said that this grilled potato uses domestically produced 'Kouharu', which is characterized by its smooth texture and sweetness, and has been stored in a storage for 45 days and aged, so the skin side has a honey-like finish. ..

When I try to eat it, the texture that melts on the tongue and the intense sweetness spread throughout my mouth, which is exactly what 'sticky and sweet' means. The texture is such that the tasters say that it is as sticky as sweet potatoes, and it is different from the so-called dry sweet potatoes with a lot of fibers. On the other hand, there is almost no crispness or kogation of the skin, and the presence is thin, so I had the impression that it was for people who wanted to enjoy the potatoes inside.

Lawson 'Yakiimo' can be purchased from November 2, 2021 (Tuesday) for 210 yen including tax. Lawson has about 14,000 stores (as of February 2021), but please note that the number of stores offering grilled food is limited to 3,000.
