[Miyagi Prefecture] What is prefectural soybean Miyagi Shirome? Introducing shops where you can eat exquisite sweets and tofu

What is Miyagi Shirome?

This is a high-quality soybean grown only in Miyagi Prefecture, and is the best variety of domestically produced large-grain soybean with all the triple features of taste, appearance, and flavor. The soybean's name comes from the white bud (belly button) of the soybean. It is characterized by the fact that it does not have a harsh taste even when heated, so the sweetness of the beans stands out.

It is used not only in tofu and miso, but also in various processed products such as natto and Japanese sweets because of its beautiful shape after processing. The texture is chewy, so even when boiled, the beans don't become lumpy, and go well with other vegetables.
