The "Black Bean" BEIKA by IWATSUKA is a masterful expression of Japan's cherished culinary traditions. Here, the humble black bean is elevated to new heights, embraced by the crisp, golden embrace of hard-baked Senbei. This snack is a textural tapestry, interweaving the gentle firmness of whole, full-sized black beans—each one steamed in-house to draw out its natural, inherent sweetness—with the satisfying crunch of expertly baked rice crackers.
The semi-hard texture of this vegan and gluten-free delicacy strikes an impeccable balance between robust crunch and delicate crumble, a balance that has earned it the accolade of IWATSUKA’s No.1 Senbei item. A sprinkle of salt, as light as a sea breeze, is all that's needed to elevate the flavors, creating a savory symphony that resonates with the essence of the beans and the purity of the rice.
Each bite is a journey through the heart of Japanese gastronomy, where simplicity is celebrated and the quality of ingredients is paramount. The "Black Bean" BEIKA is more than a snack—it's a culinary adventure, a discovery of flavors and textures that are as timeless as they are contemporary, as familiar as they are surprising. It is IWATSUKA's tribute to the land, the farmers, and the age-old traditions that together weave the rich tapestry of Japanese flavor.
