📜 Product Details
The purple visual of the Purple Sweet Potato Puree makes a striking impression as a sweet tart dessert. The tart crust is filled with 100% Purple Sweet Potato Puree, made from Okinawa's purple sweet potatoes sourced from over 140 contracted farms. The moist texture of the tart crust combined with the rich sweetness of the purple sweet potato is truly exceptional. To showcase the original color and flavor of the purple sweet potato, no preservatives or colorings are used during production.
This product was born in Showa 61 (1986). As part of the local revitalization of Yomitan Village, the initiative to create desserts using the local specialty, purple sweet potato, began, and it has since become a classic souvenir of Okinawa. The tart crust is shaped like the purple sweet potato, and the wavy sweet potato puree is inspired by the leaves of the purple sweet potato swaying in the wind. It is available in packages of 3, 6, 10, and 15, catering to various personal or corporate needs. "Okinawa Confectionery Castle" stores sell them individually.
A sister product, the "Two-Color Red Sweet Potato Tart," has also been very popular since its launch in 2016. It uses sweet potato puree from "Yomitan Akane Sweet Potato" and purple sweet potato puree, creating a beautiful contrast of orange and purple colors.
