Chaimoya

Welcome to Chaimoya, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Hiratsuka, Kanagawa. This charming spot specializes in a truly unique culinary experience: the art of baked sweet potatoes, or yakiimo. From the moment you step into Chaimoya, you’re greeted by the delightful aroma of perfectly roasted sweet potatoes, inviting both locals and visitors alike to embark on a tasty adventure.

Chaimoya takes pride in sourcing a variety of sweet potato types, ensuring that each visit is a new experience. The 壷焼き (tuboyaki) method elevates the humble sweet potato to new heights, yielding a texture that is melt-in-your-mouth tender while delivering a sweet, rich flavor that leaves a lasting impression. Imagine sinking your teeth into the creamy, honey-like interior, with a slight caramelization on the outside that offers just the right amount of crunch.

One of the unique offerings that has garnered rave reviews is their 焼き芋ブリュレ, a delightful twist on traditional baked sweet potatoes. This dish features a perfectly roasted sweet potato topped with a perfectly caramelized crust, creating a tantalizing contrast of textures and flavors that surely deserves the title “sweetness overload.”

Chaimoya is conveniently located with easy access for takeout, featuring a small parking area for those looking to grab their favorite sweet potatoes on the go. The cozy atmosphere is further highlighted by the charming presence of the café’s mascot – a lovable Boston Terrier named Koge-chan – adding a touch of warmth and joy to your visit.

But don’t just take our word for it! Happy customers have expressed their love for Chaimoya’s delectable offerings. One satisfied visitor noted the sheer surprise of enjoying a cold 冷やし焼き芋 (chilled baked sweet potato) on a hot summer day, while another shared the joy experienced by their family in tasting the natural sweetness of the 紅はるか variety. Many express a sense of community, hoping for Chaimoya’s continued success amidst rising living costs, and echoing a sentiment that this little gem is a treasure worth supporting.
