In Fukui Prefecture, there are many delicious Japanese cakes.
Among them, “Imo-kintsuba” (sweet potato cake) of Ito Junwa-do in Ono City
has an unshakable popularity.
I guess that people of Fukui might have experienced
that you asked them to buy it if someone goes to Ono City.
I would be a little disappointed if someone went to Ono and came back
without “Imo-kintsuba.” :) 
The “Imo-kintsuba” ‘s thin skin has a good texture,
the filling is rich and creamy as if both create a perfect harmony and it is really good.
Also, it goes well with coffee and tea.
The “Imo-kintsuba” is only sold from September to April,
so if you want to try some, please hurry! (H.S)
