Lucky Cherry Beans, one of famous confectionery in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, are a simple bean snack that has been loved in Kyushu over 100 years. Deep-fried fava beans are flavored with ginger and has a simple yet deep taste.
The name “Lucky Cherry Beans” is quite a pop, but the package looks more like nostalgic.
The crispy fried fava beans are seasoned with sugar, syrup, and ginger powder around the beans, making them look golden brown and delicious.
It is crispy and has a crunchy bean texture, with a strong ginger flavor, and I feel that the fava beans seem to be good for our health. Such ginger-flavored sweets go very well with green tea, and they are perfect as a green tea snack. It is understandable for the reason why it is called a long-seller snack and has been loved for years.
