Fake reviews removed

A legendary institution for Sano's local specialty 'Imo-Fry' (fried potato skewers). Widely featured in TV, newspapers, and magazines, and certified as 'Sano Brand.' Skewered potatoes are deep-fried and generously coated in sweet-savory sauce. Known for chewy, hearty coating and fluffy potato inside. The soul food of Sano locals since childhood, at just 150 yen each.

Many locals call it 'the soul food they've eaten since childhood.' Freshly fried batter is crispy while the potato inside is fluffy. The sweet-savory sauce is addictive. Popular enough to form queues on Saturdays. Takeout specialty with only 6 bench seats.
