One of the most talked-about snacks at Osaka Expo 2025 is the cute “Miyakumiyaku-yaki” shaped like the official mascot Miyakumiyaku. These small, round cakes quickly became a must-try souvenir among visitors.
Two Flavors: Custard Cream & Sweet Potato
Miyakumiyaku-yaki comes in two flavors:
- Custard Cream: Soft, sweet custard cream inside a dough that also tastes faintly of sweet potato.
- Sweet Potato Plain: The batter itself is made from sweet potato, with small chunks of potato mixed in.
At first glance, they look almost identical, so it’s easy to get confused. I personally couldn’t tell the difference at first – you’ll need to check the labels carefully when buying!
