🔥 The most satisfying street food dessert in Tokyo — and you probably walked right past it!
A roasted purple sweet potato (murasaki imo 紫芋), split open, filled with silky smooth custard, then torched to a perfect golden caramelised sugar crust 🍠✨
That CRUNCH though… 😍
📍 Denboin-in Temple, Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan
This hidden gem dessert combines everything we love — the earthy sweetness of Japanese purple sweet potato, the creaminess of custard, and the drama of a crème brûlée torch finish. Street food perfection. 🇯🇵
🗺️ Save this for your Tokyo bucket list!
