Tanba Sasayama Dekansho Beans: A Summer Sensation

This summer, a new delight is set to tantalize the taste buds of bean enthusiasts across Japan. The Tanba Sasayama Dekansho Beans, a summer specialty from the Tanba Sasayama region, will be available for pre-order starting June 23, 2025, through the JA Town online shop, 'Atumete, Hyogo.' With only a limited quantity available, this is a remarkable opportunity for bean aficionados to experience a unique flavor that is deeply rooted in tradition.

Rich Heritage of Tanba Sasayama

Located in Hyogo Prefecture, Tanba Sasayama is renowned for its cultivation of the Tanba Black Soybean, a crop that has been nurtured for over 300 years through specialized farming techniques passed down through generations. Recognized as a part of Japan's agricultural heritage, the area has embraced the challenge of introducing the Tanba Sasayama Dekansho Beans as a new addition to its list of prized agricultural products.

Only producers validated by the 'Tanba Sasayama Dekansho Bean Liaison Conference,' are permitted to cultivate these beans, ensuring that every batch reflects the highest standards of quality. Currently, a select group of just four farmers, dedicated to preserving this craft, manage the meticulous growing process; they prioritize washing and cooling the beans within three hours after harvesting.

Starting June 23, each of the first 30 customers to pre-order will enjoy exclusive early bird pricing. Here are the discounted prices for various quantities (all prices include tax):

The Meaning Behind the Name

The name 'Tanba Sasayama Dekansho Beans' is inspired by the Dekansho Festival, one of the largest folk song festivals in West Japan, celebrated during the summer. Similar to the rich tradition of the 'Dekansho' performances, these beans promise to deliver an exceptional flavor filled with cultural significance.
