株式会社井上天極堂

Inoue Tengokudo Co. (Gosho City, Nara Prefecture; President: Shogo Inoue), a commercial food manufacturer established in 1870, launched a new "frozen vegetable paste" product "Sweet Angel Red Azuma Steamed Sweet Potato Paste" on October 1, 2023, which is made by processing only edible parts of vegetables into a smooth paste. Frozen vegetable paste" can be used simply by defrosting, and since it contains no seasoning, it can be used in a wide range of applications from confectionery to cooking.

Sweet potato paste, an indispensable item for fall and winter menus, has also been used by many customers, but recently the crop has been poor and some varieties have been in short supply. However, the popularity of sweet potatoes is increasing year by year. Therefore, we have developed a product out of Japan in search of a stable supply of sweet and moist sweet potatoes, which the Japanese like.

Sweet Angel Beni Azuma Steamed Sweet Potato Paste" is also available at our online store, and can be purchased not only by companies and specialty stores, but also by the general public who enjoy homemade cakes.
