Green Soy Beans

Green Soy Bean is one of the most famous traditional food in Japan. People usually eat them while drinking beer. They are immature soy beans. The harvest time is set before soy beans turn brown.

Before you boil green soy beans, you mix them with salts. Then, you put them into boiled water and leave them for about 4 to 6 minutes. After you put them into sieve, you sprinkle salts over!

You push a peel to squeeze green soy beans out. Don't eat peels! Green soy beans taste somewhat sweet with salts. They are so nutritious to contain the nutrition of vegetables and beans. If you have a chance to eat them, why don't you try it!

I sometimes enjoy the old style of Japan

Although I grew up one of the biggest metropolitan in the world called Tokyo, I sometimes visit at a small village where my father grew up and my relatives live. When you go to the west from the center of Tokyo, you encounter a mountain region in Yamanashi prefecture.

I love to visit at the Japanese Shrine in the middle of mountains because the air and water are very clean and fresh so that I feel as if I was reborn. The Japanese Shintoism has many gods all over such as trees, rocks, rivers, and mountains. Everything around is a part of gods.

 If you get tired of daily matters and city life, I suggest you to go to such a place. We all are a part of the nature even though we are civilized to conquer the danger of the nature. We can never become stronger than the nature.

That is because we live within the nature.
