Tanba Kuro-mame sable

Crispy, savory, light, yet luxurious tasting sablefish

The “Tanba Kuromame Sablet” made by Nakajima Daishodo, founded in Osaka in 1912, over 100 years of history, is a baked sablet made from Tanba black beans mixed into the dough.

”Tambaguro” a large black soybean, is a specialty product of Hyogo Prefecture that has long been popular there as an essential ingredient for Osechi dishes, special dishes prepared for the New Year.  The concept of using soybeans is interesting, and it also shows the confectioner’s policy of using local specialties.

The black soybean skin kneaded into the dough is visible.

It is quite light and crispy, almost like a nut cookie with soybean.

The crunchiness is amazing, as is the aroma of the soybeans, rich flavor with plenty of butter, and moreover it is crisp and light, yet has an amazingly luxurious taste, or rather a perfect balance.  This represents their know-how after cultivated over their long history more than 100 years.  They also make many other kinds of baked sweets.
