New beans are cooked or boiled with a light sweet and spicy taste, and are used in Kagawa's local dishes, "punched sushi" and "cancan sushi". The soy sauce beans are made by drying the ripe beans in the field, roasting them slowly over low heat, and pickling them in soy sauce sauce. This is easy to store and popular as a souvenir. It can be boiled quickly and made into salad, crushed and cooked with sugar, and paste or bean paste.
