Just Yuca (from the team behind Sugoi JPN) has transformed the humble yet versatile root vegetable into irresistible yuca fries in the following three categories:

Salty, Spicy (spiced with shichimi togarashi and salt) and Cool (Japanese, Mexican and American). “Japanese” is topped with spicy mayo, okonomi sauce, bonito flakes, chive and sesame seeds, “Mexican” is topped with sour cream, avocado dressing and chilli sauce and “American” is topped with cheese and bacon.

The party will also see the launch of Calpis Beer which has been specially created by Just Yuca and Old Street Brewery to pair with the Yuca fries.

Just Yuca launches on Monday 29th July and is available from Deliveroo, Old Street Brewery and the food truck in the yard at Mother Kelly’s in Bethnal Green.
