Tanba Black Soybeans (Fukuchiyama)

Take a single, plumply cooked black soybean. As you place the glossy, large grain in your mouth, a warm sweetness gently spreads throughout. Tanba black soybeans are a branded variety of black soybean grown in the Tanba region of Kyoto. Their greatest pride is, without a doubt, their size. 100 grains can weigh as much as 80 to 90 grams, making them much larger than ordinary soybeans. Even books from the Edo period note that "black beans are a specialty of Sasayama in Tanba," proving they have been a famous product known nationwide since ancient times. When simmered, they become a plump and lustrous New Year's feast. In autumn, the young "black edamame" are also exceptional. They are round, large, black jewels nurtured by the rich soil of Tanba.
