Aki shima sasage (bean)

This is a kind of kidney bean cultivated from long ago in farmers’ yards mainly around today’s Takayama City. In the harvest time in autumn, a beautiful purple stripe pattern emerges on the shell surface of the pea, which led to it being named “aki (autumn), shima (stripe), sasage (black-eyed pea)”. The stripe pattern generated by the daily temperature gradient of the region and ultraviolet rays turns to a solid green when boiled, which is why it is fondly also known as “yuagari bijin”, a phrase which evokes the image of a beautiful woman after taking a bath.
○ Main cultivation area
Takayama City (former Takayama City, former Nyukawa Village, former Kokufu Town), Hida City (former Furukawa Town)
