It is SETSUBUN (節分) today on February 3!
As you know Japan has four seasons (spring, summer, fall and winter), and the day of ‘Setsubun’ is originally referred to a day before the start of each seasons.
It is not a national holiday, but we celebrate the festival on February 3 or 4.
We throw roasted soybeans with saying ‘Fortune in! Evils out!’ (This custom is called ‘Mamemaki.’) and eat the same number of roasted soybeans as your age.
Today, we would like to introduce a soybean’s sweet ‘TAMBA KUROMAME-SHIBORI.’
This is a type of amanatto which is a Japanese traditional dessert made of beans, boiled in sugar water, dried and topped with more sugar.
This product is used black beans produced in Tamba Sasayama.
Black beans are extremely affordable source of protein, filling fiber, disease fighting antioxidants, and numerous vitamins and minerals!
If you feel to try this sweet, please order from KANSAI SWEETS SELECTION.
