Green Soybeans “Hiden”
Hiden’s flavor, sweetness, seed size, and skin springiness are outstanding
It is said that “Hiden” is named after its distinguishing features such as flavor, sweetness, seed size, and skin springiness. Hiden is one of Yamagata’s special local products and it is characterized by its large pods with a white navel. Hiden can be enjoyed as green soybeans and soybean dishes. Hitashi-mame (simmered soybeans served with herring egg) is a popular traditional food for the New Year’s days.
