Mitsuwa sweet potato lady

[autumnlilacs]

Every year when the weather starts to get cooler, a nice lady will start selling grilled yellow and purple sweet potatoes at Mitsuwa, usually just outside the bookstore. Although it is not yet officially fall, the weather has certainly been chillier these past few days. Have the sweet potatoes appeared for this season?

I saw her about a month ago!

I think she's only there in winter months, and I do agree the price is pretty crazy considering it's a sweet potato after all.

Thank you.

Yaki imo - sounds so special.

These sweet potatoes are on my must try list.
Any sightings of the sweet potato lady recently?
Is it just weekends?
I have not seen her during the week the few times I have been in Edgewater NJ
Any information is appreciated :)

We used to eat sweet potatos just like this growing up in korea....but it used to be like, 10c for a sweet potato. I feel ripped off paying the 4 bucks or so they charge. I mean, it's just a baked sweet potato!

Where is the Mitsuwa? I assume this is the Japanese grocery store chain you're referring to.

those are pricey but they taste amazing... I visit Mitsuwa about once a month. Would certainly report back if I see the Japanese potatoes.
