Murata Broad Beans (Soramame)
Large-grained and intensely sweet, these broad beans are an exquisite snack just by boiling them in salt—they are the pride of Murata Town. Known as the 'Little Kyoto of Michinoku,' Murata Town retains an old cityscape lined with traditional storehouses called 'Tengura' featuring sea cucumber walls (namako-kabe), a section of which has been designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The broad beans grown in this historic town boast one of the highest production volumes in the country. A wide variety of processed goods are also produced, including broad bean rice flour noodles, udon, ice cream, and various sweets. Every June, the 'Broad Bean Festival' is held, where you can enjoy the fresh taste of newly harvested beans at the roadside station. It is a luxurious flavor available only during the short season of early summer.
