However, all of the prototypes that were produced lacked the original taste of soybeans. One day, the product was far from being “delicious boiled soybeans,” and development was extremely difficult. By heating the soybeans without boiling them, they created the ideal soybean, which is fluffy and sweet like chestnuts. It was the moment when steamed soybeans were born. As research progressed, it was discovered that steamed soybeans not only taste better, but also have less nutritional loss, and in January 2004, the industry’s first product was
commercialized. Today, Maruyanagi’s steamed beans continue to evolve as a long-selling product with the No. 1 market share. [Steamed soybean information site “Steamed soybean town” URL]
