Daigaku-imo

Daigaku-imo is made with sweet potato, starch syrup and sesame. Cut the potato rough and fry it deeply. Then dust the starch syrup and sesame.

“Daigaku” means University. Why “Daigaku” attached the name of food?

There is one reason. From Taisho era to Syowa era, this food was liked in a student’s town.

It is hard to make Daigaku-imo at home because starch syrup is very sticky. So it is trouble to wash some bowls, which was used when making Daigaku-imo.
