Of particular note are the dishes made with local Shizuoka sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes carefully grown by farmers in Shizuoka Prefecture have a unique sweetness and texture that differs depending on the variety, and the dishes that take advantage of this sweetness are unique to the sweet potato festival and cannot be tasted anywhere else.

Tips for comparing various sweet potatoes
To get the most out of the various varieties of baked potatoes and sweets offered at potato festivals, it is common to start with varieties that are lighter in sweetness and texture.
This allows the tongue to fully appreciate the subtle flavors of each type without becoming accustomed to the richness of the taste.
具体的には、水分が多くてさっぱりとした味わいの「紅あずま」や「シルクスイート」から始め、次第に「安納いも」や「紅はるか」のような濃厚でねっとりした食感の品種へと進むのがおすすめです。
This gradual progression allows for a clear sense of each variety's characteristics and enriches the overall eating experience.
【品種別の味わい比較】
| 品種名 | 食感タイプ | 甘さ | おすすめの食べ方 | 食べ比べの順番 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 紅あずま | ホクホク系 | あっさり | baked sweet potato | ①最初に |
| シルクスイート | しっとり系 | 上品な甘さ | 焼き芋・スイーツ | ②序盤 |
| 紅はるか | ねっとり系 | 強い甘み | 焼き芋・スイーツ | ③中盤 |
| sweet potato | ねっとり系 | 蜜のような甘さ | 焼き芋・プリン | ④最後に |
さらに、食べ比べの際には、各品種や料理の背景情報を知ることも重要です。それぞれのさつまいもの特性、栽培方法、調理技法について知ることで、味わいの違いをより深く理解し、食体験の充実に繋がります。
If possible, having the opportunity to hear directly from the farmer or chef will make the comparison even more enjoyable.
Special items you can't miss only at the ImoFest
At the Imo Fest, limited-edition products specially prepared by each of the participating stores are a major attraction.
These limited items include special baked potatoes, sweets, and craft products made from sweet potatoes, all of which are available only at the sweet potato festival, and are unique items that are not on the regular menu.
Examples include premium baked sweet potatoes made from specific varieties of sweet potatoes, locally produced sweet potato beer with a sweet potato festival commemorative label, and limited edition sweet potato-themed artwork.
These products were designed by chefs and creators especially for the sweet potato festival and are the result of their pursuit of the possibilities of sweet potatoes.
Therefore, every product offers visitors a fresh surprise and delight.
Especially popular items may sell out early in the festival, so it is important to check the official website for information in advance and head to the booths as soon as possible.
When purchasing limited-edition products, one of the pleasures is to learn about the background information and characteristics of the product, as well as the producer's thoughts and commitment to the product.
Many stores provide a detailed description of the story behind the product, the type of sweet potato used, and how it is prepared, which allows the customer to learn more about the product and taste it more deeply.
