Punch beans introduction
Uchimame (uchimame) is one of them, made by crushing soybeans on a millstone and drying them.
“Uchimame” makes use of the nourishment and nutrition of soybeans, and its rich flavor and deliciousness are widely popular as a flavor of Echizen Fukui.
Soybeans are produced in rice paddies, mainly in the Fukui Plain. This is an utsuma that was eaten by crushing it with a wooden hammer on a millstone. Since these uchimame uses high-quality domestically produced soybeans (using 100% soybeans from Hokuriku (Fukui prefecture, Ishikawa prefecture soybeans) and Hokkaido soybeans), they do not use genetically modified or genetically manipulated soybeans at all.
