Grown in Kitami, inland of the Okhotsk region, where the temperature difference is particularly severe. These Kuro-Sengoku soybeans have a concentrated flavor due to the temperature difference (Health Bean NO. 1). They are rich in anthocyanins, isoflavones, calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients. The high polyphenol content is currently attracting attention for its ability to improve immune function (please read the second photo). Enjoy them in "Kuro-chan Rice" (recipe in the second photo)! They are also excellent when roasted and made into black soybean tea. My family always has a kettle of it on the stove, drinking it instead of regular tea. They also make a great gift. We carefully select them by hand, but please forgive any overlooked cracks! We also have adzuki beans for sale, so please take a look. Please note that prices will be revised at the end of the month. #
