Izumo Zenzai introduction

Because it is said to be the birthplace of zenzai, Izumo, where Izumo Taisha Shrine is located, is a place where eight million deities gather across the country in October of the lunar calendar. It is said that the name of “Jinzaimochi” which was acting at the ancient Shinzai Festival gradually changed its shape and became “zenzai” and spread to the streets of Kyoto and Edo. The characteristic of Izumo Zenzai is that large azuki beans have a salty taste, both sweet and salty, and they are characterized by the fact that they have a lot of juice.
