Dried Black Beans

Taste

These were like one of the weirdest thing I've had in Japan. It's basically a bean that's been cooked then dried as far as I can tell. The outer skin is black and crunchy, but the inside is kinda like eating bean paste. It has a natural sweetness rather than being very sweet.

Look

Like all things from Japan, the look is superb. Each bean is like an individual cracked egg, with little lines running along. The packaging is very cute, a white rice paper looking pouch contains these little beauties. The writing is all in Japanese so I don't know what they are saying either!

100g for a lot of money! Even in Japan these are expensive. I think they are like rare or hard to produce or something. Or maybe it's just the latest craze...
