It's very humbling to be illiterate.Last week, I was in the combini (convenience store) looking for a snack and saw this package. Must be dried fruit, I thought. Raisins, and maybe dried apricots, or even mango, and dates. It was pretty cheap for fruit, but for 100 yen, worth a try.
I was soooo wrong. These are candied beans. Try to imagine pinto beans and lima beans being candied and sugared. Not so yummy, but at least it wasn't some sort of sea creature.
In retrospect, considering that they put "sweet" red beans into ice cream, I should have guessed. (Just this past Saturday, Heather was tricked into thinking she was buying a chocolate chip ice cream bar... nope, red beans in ice cream.)
