It has been more than 100 years since the first generation established a roasted bean shop in 1908. The company has continued to produce simple bean confections such as Komachi Goshiki-mame (five-colored beans), which were created for Emperor Taisho's coronation ceremony, and other simple bean confections. The company has a long history of making simple bean confections, including Komachi Goshiki-mame, which was created at the time of the Emperor Taisho's coronation! They are especially particular about their Setsubun beans, which are made from only the best Hokkaido soybeans, Tsurumusume, for this once-a-year tradition. Normally, the beans are soaked in water overnight, but after four days of repeated soaking, the beans are softened and slowly roasted over low heat by veteran craftsmen. In addition to Setsubun beans, there is a wide variety of other items available, which is very intriguing.
