A vending machine where you can buy "yaki-imo" appears in Akihabara! For 500 yen, you can enjoy three hoku-hoku sweet potatoes!

In Akihabara, a town dotted with peculiar vending machines, another peculiar vending machine has appeared! This time, it is a "Yaki-imo" vending machine!

The yaki-imo vending machine is located in the parking lot just across from PC Shop ARC. It is marked by a sign that reads "Sukima Vending Machine.

Among the various beverages lined up, you will see the words "Yaki-imo (baked sweet potato) 500 yen!

This product is produced and sold with the cooperation of the Saitama Welfare Association, and is apparently sold as part of a welfare support project. The number of yaki-imo sold each month is limited, and the product may be sold out in some cases.

It is interesting to see a "baked sweet potato" that can be purchased from a vending machine! So I bought one right away.

Gakon! A long, vertical container came out.

Inside was a pack of hot yaki-imo!

When I opened the bag, I found three yaki-imo. I immediately started to eat them!

Oh, this is ...... quite good! The ingredients are only sweet potatoes. The natural sweetness is concentrated to the limit, and the sweetness is so much that it makes your hands sticky! It is so good, but I would like to have it with an austere drink such as tea.

As expected, after eating three sweet potatoes, I was full. Sweet potatoes are also high in nutritional value, so it might be possible to eat them as a fast food instead of lunch.

So, I have a feeling that vending machine yaki-imo may become a new Akiba specialty! We hope you will try them before they run out!
