Tamba Chestnut 

Mentioned in the Kojiki, Japan’s oldest chronicle, the Tamba Chestnut is a living treasure of Japanese culinary history.
Renowned for its generous size, smooth texture, and mellow sweetness, it was once said to be worth its weight in silver.
This golden-colored dish symbolizes economic fortune and wealth for the coming year. 

Tamba Black Soybean 

 These sweet, simmered Tamba Black Soybeans represent a wish for good health, the ability to work hard, and the strength to ward off illness or misfortune in the new year. The word mame in Japanese can mean "bean," but also sounds like the word for "hard work" or "good health".
