The perfectly Instagram-worthy drink can be found in one of Tokyo’s most bohemian hipster neighborhoods.

Häagen-Dazs Japan rolls out a perfect, leveled-up mitsuimo sweet treat for this autumn season.
One of Japan’s comfort foods will be available as a hot dessert drink straight from a vending machine!
Come autumn, the droning sound of an old man singing about yaki-imo (roasted sweet potatoes) fills the streets of Japan. A chilly weather treat that is usually bought from the back of a truck specially equipped with hot stones, yaki-imo is a fall favorite enjoyed by people of all ages. But as delicious as it may be – if internet raving is anything to go by – the yaki-imo ice cream made by the Imuraya Confectionery Company is even better than the real stuff…and it looks and tastes exactly like a roasted sweet potato!
