History and Origins

"Happy beans" is an old-fashioned "snack of beans" representing Shiga Prefecture. In the farmer's case, the beans were grown in rice paddies, and the wheat was grown in the back of rice. At present, Shiga Prefecture is increasing in wheat production and often uses flour. When made from rice flour, it is delicious as a pet. Shiga Prefecture was more abundant in rice than old because agriculture developed around rice making. The Shiga Prefecture from its high quality and productivity was also called "the rice reserves of China." That is why rice was often eaten as well as rice, such as rice and other fish and coral. "Happy beans" is one of them. In times when there were no sweets, the "Happy Bean" was eaten as a between the farm and the farm when the roasted beans and rice were mixed with sugar and water. There were lots of coral, blue beans, juices, coral, all kinds of good-natured snacks.

  1. I'm roasting soybeans in fried bread. You may use a commercial roasting bean pea.
