Akebono Daizu (Akebono Soybeans)

An heirloom variety, often referred to as 'phantom soybeans,' is nurtured in the mountains of Yamanashi. These are Akebono Daizu. Akebono Daizu is an heirloom variety that has been cultivated for over 100 years since the Meiji era, primarily in the Akebono district of Minobu Town, and is also grown in neighboring areas such as Nanbu Town. Growing in hilly and mountainous areas with high altitude and significant temperature fluctuations, these beans are approximately twice the size of standard soybeans. They also have a high sugar content, boasting a distinctive sweetness and richness. When processed into miso, tofu, or simmered beans (nimame), the rich, natural flavor of the soybean spreads throughout your mouth. If boiled in salt as edamame, you will be surprised by their sweetness. They are a treasure of the mountain village, harvestable only from limited lands. A nutritious treasure of the mountains that is also perfect for gifts.
