If you’ve ever been to Japan, you’ve probably found yourself browsing the okashi<\/em> (\u304a\u83d3\u5b50 Japanese snacks and sweets) area in a supermarket or konbini<\/em> (\u30b3\u30f3\u30d3\u30cb convenience stores) over and over again. It is impossible to pass by and ignore their striking and fun packaging. Japanese sweets are not only delicious but also reasonably priced, making them one of the most popular souvenirs for those who visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese sweets industry is highly competitive, with seasonal products and special flavors appearing virtually every month sold only for a limited period of time. But as Japanese sweets come and go, some have endured the test of time for generations and have become classics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okashi Goten, a company based in Okinawa<\/a>, is a clear example of a classic sweet. Their products, especially the purple sweet potato tart, are a beloved and popular symbol among islanders and throughout Japan. Thanks to the Voyapon Store<\/a>, you don’t have to travel to Okinawa to try Okashi Goten<\/a> sweets. You can buy them online and taste the essence of Japan’s most tropical islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll know autumn has arrived in Japan when you hear the familiar “yaaaakiiimoooo” (\u713c\u304d\u828b yakiimo<\/em> is a roasted sweet potato) as you stroll through the streets. But while many people in mainland Japan enjoy the popular sweet potatoes under the red autumn leaves<\/a>, Okinawans can indulge in this treat year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
