Sengoku mame (bean)

Its main cultivation area is southern part of Gifu City. The name “sengoku mame” came from its shape similar to sengoku ship (having capacity of sen or 1,000 koku of rice), its resistance to high temperatures and diseases and its fertility of bearing many beans. Young bean pods have a rich flavor. It is popular locally to boil them after removing pod strings and to mix with miso paste.
