Orange sweet potatoes, ubiquitous in the US, are often nowhere to be found in Ishikawa. Depending on where you are in the prefecture, you can usually locate some in one brief part of late winter in the local-vegetable section of the grocery store with the Noto<\/em>– and Kaga Yasai<\/em> (heirloom vegetables from Noto\u00a0 [northern Ishikawa] and Kaga [central-southern Ishikawa]). This March,\u00a0 I found some \u201cKabocha Imo<\/em>\u201d (\u201ckabocha squash potato,\u201d \u304b\u307c\u3061\u3083\u828b), a Noto Yasai,<\/em> at Marue, and I also found a large bag of ann\u00f4imo <\/em>(\u5b89 \u7d0d\u828b) in the basement grocery stores in the department store M\u2019ZA. Orange sweet potatoes are not as cheap as I remember them being back home during my student days, but they\u2019re every bit as delicious.<\/p>\n
