Ginfuro Beans of Otoyo Town
The name derives from its glossy black luster, representing 'Gin' (silver), and the wish for eternal youth, represented by 'Furo' (immortality). In Otoyo Town, there exists this bean with such an auspicious name. Ginfuro beans are a native variety of kidney bean that has been cultivated for personal use in very limited areas of Otoyo Town. Long cherished as a symbol of good fortune, these beans are characterized by their soft skin and their ability to absorb flavors well when simmered. When prepared as simmered beans, mixed rice, or sweets, they offer a fluffy and elegant taste. In recent years, they have been gaining gradual attention, being commercialized by some of the prefecture's leading long-established inns and even featured in in-flight meals. Please enjoy these precious traditional beans that Otoyo Town continues to protect and pass down.
