Kenpi (けんぴ) or Imo-kenpi (芋けんぴ, 芋 meaning "potato"(especially "sweet potato")) is a snack food and common omiyage/meibutsu from Kōchi Prefecture, Japan.

They are strips of candied sweet potato, resembling french fries in appearance, but are hard and sugary sweet in taste. Now,in Japan,almost all super markets and convenience stores sell kenpi of their own brands. You can get kenpi everywhere. And one Japanese manga describes kenpi as a cause love. A word "You have kenpi in your hair." became famous in SNS.
