This is a traditional sweet of green beans and rice flour "Mame Shitogi". Please enjoy the sweetness of the old-fashioned warm beans. It's also delicious when mixed with vanilla ice cream! Mame Shitogi is a konamon made by mixing crushed beans with rice flour, which is eaten in Sanhachi Kamikita and the Kita area of Iwate Prefecture. Green beans are standard, and the bright blue color is beautiful. Some are made with black beans. Nowadays, it can be eaten all year round, but beans are not stored very well, so in the past, it was common to make them during the cold season from December to March. By the way, "shitogi" is "food made by soaking in water and softening raw rice into powder, kneading it with water, and rolling it up." Shitogi, which can be said to be the prototype of mochi, has a long history, and it is said that it was offered as a sacred food even in the Heian period. I want to pass on the sacred taste that has been quietly passed down and the tasteful taste that has been eaten forever. It is delicious as is, but if you eat it with a little toaster or other food, it will be fragrant, and the sweetness will stand out and enhance the deliciousness. You can also enjoy a different taste by frying it in oil. How much of a snack it was for children in the south in the old days.
