Otafuku beans - Otafuku beans

Japanese: お多福豆 - おたふくまめ
Otafuku beans - Otafuku beans

A type of broad bean, the beans are particularly large and plump like the mask of Otafuku. They are also tasty and have long been considered a specialty of the Kyoto region. Young beans are boiled in salt and eaten, while fully ripe beans are soaked in water and then simmered with brown sugar and a little salt until glossy, and served as an appetizer. They are also used to make sweetened adzuki beans.

Japanese:

ソラマメの1品種で、豆がとくに大きく、お多福の面のようにふっくらしている。味もよく、昔から京都地方の特産とされる。若いうちに収穫したものは塩ゆでにして食べ、完熟豆は水でもどしてから、黒砂糖と塩少々でつやの出るまで煮つめ、前菜とする。甘納豆にもつくられる。
