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.
