Yakiimo truck: Mitakaya

You’ll hear Mitakaya before you see them most of the time, with the nostalgic yakiimo call reverberating off the little truck as they do their rounds around west and central Tokyo. They deal in carefully selected sweet potatoes, with a lot of pride in the craft. This one is also great for the experience: retro, cute and very Tokyo. You can see where in Tokyo they'll be parked daily on their Twitter page.
