Sakumaimaimo Premium (Melty Chocolat)


■Using Kirishima shochu sweet potatoes, the product conveys its appeal, including its delicious taste and health value.

The "Sakumaimaimo" series, launched in October 2023, was jointly developed with Kirishima Shuzo Co., Ltd. with the common desire to "deliver the taste and health value of sweet potatoes themselves to more customers.

The sweet potato "Kogane-sengan" used for Kirishima Shochu is a new type of sweet potato kempi- made with the original color and flavor of sweet potato and with a "crispy" texture different from that of regular sweet potato kempi- by using the reduced-pressure frying method. Many customers have purchased the product since its launch, and have commented that the simple taste of the sweet potato has been retained, and that the product is so crispy that it is eaten up in a matter of seconds.


Sakumaimaimo Plain


The harmony of crunchy texture and rich cacao. The fascinating "Sakumaimo" was born.

The new "Sakumaimaimo Premium (Melty Chocolat)" is made by coating the traditional "Sakumaimo" with low-sugar chocolate to create a premium taste with the rich flavor of sweet potatoes and cacao blended together while maintaining the "crunchy" texture. The "crunchy" texture is retained, while the rich sweet potato and cacao flavors blend together to create a premium taste.


A new texture that makes you fall in love with cacao and sweet potatoes.


The secret of the delicious taste

POINT 1 "Kogane Sengan

The magnificent nature of Mt. Kirishima, the fertile soil of the Shirasu Plateau, and the blessings of the sun that shines down on us. Kogane Sengan" grown in this rich environment is a sweet potato with a particularly sweet and savory taste. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato is combined with a savory and rich flavor, giving it an even deeper taste.

POINT 2 "Rich cacao and delightful nutrition

The natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and the deep richness of chocolate made from rich cacao are in perfect harmony, creating a well-balanced taste. The richness of the chocolate is balanced by the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and the deep richness of the chocolate, which is rich in cacao, creating an attractive light texture.

Cacao beans contain four times as much polyphenol as red wine and nine times as much as coffee. In recent years, cacao polyphenol has been attracting attention as a functional ingredient derived from a non-digestible protein called defensin, which increases beneficial bacteria in the intestines. In addition, it is rich in dietary fiber and minerals.

POINT 3 "Crispy texture

Using the decompression frying method, the original color and flavor of the sweet potato is preserved, while the "crispy" texture differs from that of regular sweet potato kempis. The inside of the frying equipment is pressurized to reduce the pressure, and the sweet potato is deep-fried and dried in low-temperature oil, which prevents the loss of the original nutrients and enhances the gentle sweetness and natural texture of the sweet potato. The simple sweetness and crispiness of sweet potatoes can be enjoyed every time you eat them.


POINT 4 "Semi-perfect nutritional food

Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, including magnesium, vitamin E, potassium, polyphenols, yarapin, and gangliosides, and are considered a "quasi-perfect nutritional food," which is rare in nature. Combining sweet potatoes with foods that provide protein and fat makes for a well-balanced diet.

About Sakumaimaimo

Sakumaimaimo was created in October 2023 based on the concept of "Imokenpi with a pleasant surprise.

In December 2023, with the aim of reducing food loss, we launched "Kakera Imo", a sweet potato kenpi made of uneven lengths that were sorted during the production process of "Sakuma Imo". In fact, 1.5 tons of sweet potatoes, or 25% of the total 6 tons of sweet potatoes used, were transformed into "kakera imo". In April 2024, we released "OH! Osakana Sakumaimaimo Mix" in collaboration with our popular product "OH!

The sales of "Sakumaimaimo" were temporarily suspended due to a greater-than-expected response, but will resume on October 13 (Sunday).
