🍒 Lucky “Cherry” Fava Beans Snack – A Crisp Nagasaki Classic with Golden Ginger Glaze
Over 100 Years of Flavor, Tradition, and Good Fortune
Founded in 1914 in a region famed for its cherry blossoms, this time-honored snack was named “Cherry Beans” to honor its birthplace—and with the heartfelt wish that those who enjoy it feel a touch of luck and happiness. In local Nagasaki dialect, “Cherry Beans” is also an affectionate name for fava beans, adding to the charm of this enduring favorite.
Each bean is hand-glazed with a delicate syrup made by simmering whole Shimabara-grown golden ginger—skin and all—with traditional malt syrup. The result is a crunchy bite that releases a refreshing ginger aroma and a clean, lasting sweetness.
