"The strongest hair beans deciding match '14" to find the most delicious "strongest hair beans" from the edamame "hair beans" of Tsugaru tradition will be held on September 26 at Tsugaru Hirosaki Yatai Village Kadare Yokocho (Momoishi Town, Hirosaki City) .

Wool bean is a kind of edamame that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Tsugaru region. The detailed roots have not been clarified yet. Since harvesting begins in late September, the difference in temperature between day and night, which is exposed to sunlight during the summer and becomes severe in autumn, traps the rich umami in the hair-covered pods. Because the grains are large and sweet, and you can enjoy the taste like chestnuts, it is well known in the Tsugaru region as "green soybeans." Since each house has inherited it for a long time, the taste varies depending on the farmer who produces it.

Last year's top fluffy beans and farmers' confidently grown fluffy beans were collected, and the judges selected the “strongest fluffy beans” of 2014 after eating and comparing. This year, general participants will also be added to the examination. Yuko Chiba of the Aomori Mozu Study Group, who sponsors the contest, says, "We would like to take this event as an opportunity to convey the deliciousness and charm of Aomori's hair beans to those who are not yet familiar with hair beans or who are interested." ..

Holding time is from 19:00. Application for general participants is from the homepage of the Aomori Mame Study Group. Deadline will be reached as soon as the capacity is reached.
