Upon examining the cases, you can see that he is actually baking and selling XL and XXL-sized potatoes and he is very particular about which ones he uses for his yakiimo.

He first wraps the sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and puts them in the gas-powered oven grill in the back of his truck. He uses a thermometer to watch the temperature of the potatoes. According to Okuno, the ideal temperature for the inside of the potatoes is degrees Celsius and the average time he lets each one cook is around minutes.

Apparently, while many other yakiimo trucks bake their products with hotter ovens in a shorter period of time, Okuno believes baking over a longer period under lower heat is much more effective for the best-tasting yakiimo.
