Tsukui Heirloom Soybeans
When simmered slowly, they become soft and sweet, much like chestnuts. The more you chew, the more the rich, savory flavor spreads; it is a deeply nourishing soybean. Tsukui Heirloom Soybeans are known as the "phantom soybeans" passed down since ancient times in Sagamihara. These are heirloom varieties that have been cultivated for generations in the area of Midori Ward, Sagamihara, which was once known as Tsukui. Although cultivation decreased for a time due to competition from imported soybeans, they have been preserved through local initiatives dedicated to their protection. Their characteristic feature is a gentle sweetness, thanks to their large grains and high sugar content, with moderate levels of protein and fat. Leveraging this sweetness, they are processed into products such as tofu, miso, and steamed beans. They are a precious blessing of the land that you can find at local farmers' markets.
