What is Miyagi Shirome, a high-quality soybean from Miyagi Prefecture? We also introduce restaurants where you can enjoy!

What is Miyagi Shirome?

This high-quality soybean is grown only in Miyagi Prefecture, and is a top-quality domestically grown large-grain soybean variety that combines taste, appearance, and flavor. It is named "Shirome" because the sprout (navel) of the soybean is white. It has little bitterness even when heated, which brings out the sweetness of the beans

It is used in a variety of processed products, including tofu and miso, as well as natto and Japanese sweets, due to its beautiful shape after processing. Its chewy texture means it doesn't become gritty even when boiled, and it pairs perfectly with other vegetables

3 Restaurants Where You Can Enjoy Miyagi Shirome

From here, we will introduce gourmet foods using Miyagi Shirome that can be eaten in Miyagi Prefecture

Oboro tofu from Usagimameya in Fukuzawa-cho, Aoba-ku, Sendai

Usagimameya won the gold medal at the National Tofu Competition and was crowned the best tofu shop in Japan. Using only carefully selected domestic soybeans, they manufacture and sell tofu, fried tofu, yuba, and other products using traditional handmade methods

We especially recommend the "Oboro Tofu" made with Miyagi Shirome. The tofu is pure white and looks like snow, thanks to the use of Miyagi Shirome. It has a creamy texture and a rich, sweet flavor, making it appealing to eat like a dessert
