Iakimo Vendor in Tokyo Japan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iakimo (sweet potato) vendors in Japanese Cities travel through city streets in a small car with a megaphone in the top, playing a prerecorded tape that seems to be the same for all Iakimo vendors, it is a kind of song describing the sweet potato to be sold. It is curious that in Mexico we have the same kind of vendors with precrecorded tapes, like tamales vendors that travel in try-cycles selling their products through the city streets.
