Toyokuniya grows an heirloom variety of domestic soybeans called “Tsukui soybean” which have become so rare they are known as “phantom soybeans.” Larger than regular soybeans, they have a rich flavor and high natural sweetness, lending to a nutty taste similar to chestnuts. Masahiro and Kayoko Okamoto, the owners of Toyokuniya, have three small children and this natto koji paste is the result of looking for creative and healthy ways to feed them. They hope their foods will inspire the next generation of farmers to continue producing this rare bean.
