While regular beans have a temperature of 2,300 degrees, Kurosengoku beans have a temperature of 2,700 degrees.)<\/p>\n<p>Kurosengoku, the original Hokkaido variety, ceased to be cultivated after the 1970s (Showa 45), and was called the phantom Kurosengoku.<br \/>\nIn 2001, Jun Tanaka, an agricultural researcher from Morimachi, Kayabe District, Hokkaido, discovered the original seeds of Kurosengoku, carefully selected about 50 seeds from them, and successfully germinated 28 of them.<br \/>\nKurosengoku was then moved to Iwate Prefecture and cultivated under the guidance of world-renowned bean researcher Joji Arihara (Director of the Kanto Tokai Research Department at the National Agriculture and Food Research Center in 2014), but in 2004 (Heisei 16), it returned to its hometown of Hokkaido.<br \/>\nIn 2005 (Heisei 17), Kurosengoku cultivation began in 24 households in Hokuryu Town, Takikawa City, and Otobe Town.<br \/>\nIn 2007 (Heisei 19), the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative was established in Hokuryu Town.<\/p>\n<p>The nutritional value of Kurosengoku was highly praised, and it was featured in the media and magazines, becoming a hot topic.<br \/>\nThe company continues to develop new processed products, including the baked goods &quot;Maboroshi no Kurosengoku Florentine,&quot; a collaboration with the Western confectionery shop &quot;Kinotoya,&quot; the &quot;Kurosengoku Amananato&quot; from Eitaro Sohonpo in Tokyo, which is sold at the Isetan Shinjuku store, and the sale of Nichirosan Pack&#039;s bottled tea &quot;Kurosengoku Tea.&quot;<br \/>\nIn 2013 (Heisei 25), the company was selected for Sapporo City&#039;s sixth industry revitalization promotion subsidy project, and in 2014 (Heisei 26), in partnership with natto specialist company &quot;Mamezou,&quot; &quot;Kurosengoku Sprouted Natto&quot; was born.<\/p>\n<p>The legendary Kurosengoku has now been reborn as the &quot;ideal healthy bean&quot; and continues to evolve and advance every day.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"chairman\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Chairman&#039;s speech<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#profile\">Organization overview<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#ksb\">What are Kurosengoku soybeans?<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#producer\">Producer<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#history\">History<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#reference\">Related articles<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/kurosengoku\/#links\">Useful Links<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We spoke with Chairman Yukio Takada (71 years old) about Kurosengoku soybeans (April 2014).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/108148978666065634675\/albums\/6006052145847524177\/6006442729267405906?banner=pwa&amp;pid=6006442729267405906&amp;oid=108148978666065634675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-3EqQAIrdq2Y\/U1sr1rm2JFI\/AAAAAAABGts\/USPKTexRwEE\/w1323-h882-no\/K5+337\" alt=\"\u9ad8\u7530\u5e78\u7537 \u7406\u4e8b\u9577\" width=\"1323\" height=\"881\" data-no-translation=\"\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yukio Takada, Chairman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Kurosengoku is a native Hokkaido species<\/h4>\n<p>Kurosengoku is originally a native species of Hokkaido, and was cultivated in the past as feed for military horses and as a green manure crop.Until recently, the temperature in Hokkaido was so low that some Kurosengoku pods did not bear fruit.<br \/>\nHowever, since the pods of Kurosenkoku also contain a lot of nutrients, even the non-fruitful pods were given as feed to horses.<\/p>\n<p>The extremely small Kurosengoku soybeans have a high cumulative temperature (the sum of the average daily temperatures from sowing to maturity) and require more sunlight than regular soybeans, making them labor-intensive to cultivate and susceptible to weather. Due to the difficulty of cultivation, cultivation of these soybeans has been discontinued since the 1970s.<\/p>\n<h4>The revival of the nostalgic &quot;kinako beans&quot;<\/h4>\n<p>\u25ceAutumn 1994 (Heisei 6)<br \/>\nThe Kurosengoku Business Cooperative received an inquiry from a major natto manufacturer asking, &quot;Are there any extremely small black soybeans in Hokkaido?&quot;<br \/>\nWhen former Chairman Murai hears about &quot;tiny black beans,&quot; he is reminded of the &quot;kinako beans&quot; he ate as a child.<br \/>\nThose small black beans that my grandmother used to roast in a frying pan and grind into kinako in a mortar!<br \/>\nThe fragrant aroma of soybean flour from childhood is brought back to life, and thus begins the journey to revive Kurosengoku.<\/p>\n<h4>Agricultural researcher Jun Tanaka successfully germinates 28 seeds of Kurosengoku rice<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/photos\/108148978666065634675\/albums\/6006052145847524177\/6006435585937882562?banner=pwa&amp;pid=6006435585937882562&amp;oid=108148978666065634675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-xLk_MRozseE\/U1slV4oXvcI\/AAAAAAABGrg\/Mnjn2t6aKlU\/w1323-h882-no\/_IGP0667\" alt=\"\u9ed2\u5343\u77f3\u5927\u8c46\" data-no-translation=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u25ce 2001 (Heisei 13)<br \/>\nJun Tanaka, an agricultural researcher from Morimachi, who had been conducting extensive research, discovered the tiny black bean, Kurosengoku, among the beans he had collected. He carefully selected 50 seeds of the original Kurosengoku variety and succeeded in germinating 28 of them.<br \/>\nKurosengoku requires long hours of sunlight to grow, so it was thought to be difficult to cultivate in Hokkaido&#039;s climate at the time. Tanaka therefore focused on Iwate Prefecture (Hanamaki City and Kitakami City), which had long hours of sunlight, a warm climate, and was thought to be the southernmost place where cultivation was possible.<\/p>\n<h4>Kurosengoku cultivation begins in Iwate Prefecture<\/h4>\n<p>\u25ce 2002 (Heisei 14)<br \/>\nIwate Prefecture was the one that worked on reviving Kurosengoku.<br \/>\nAt the time, Kurosengoku seeds were brought to JA Iwate Hanamaki, an agricultural cooperative in Hanamaki City, as a replacement crop for rice paddies due to the national rice production reduction policy.Without any cultivation know-how, it was a process of trial and error.However, thanks to their efforts, Kurosengoku has expanded its cultivation area as a specialty product of Iwate Prefecture, and its cultivation has spread.<\/p>\n<h4>Small ridge sowing cultivation method: Yields stagnated<\/h4>\n<p>Kurosengoku cultivation in Iwate Prefecture is done using the small ridge sowing method due to poor drainage in the soil. However, the yield did not increase as much as expected.<\/p>\n<h4>Guidance from Mr. Joji Arihara, Director of the Kanto-Tokai Research Department at the National Agricultural Research Center<\/h4>\n<p>In Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture, a world-renowned soybean researcher, Joji Arihara (*), leader of the Soybean 300A Research Center of the National Agriculture and Bio-oriented Technology Research Organization, was invited to give a lecture, and he received guidance on Kurosengoku cultivation and worked to increase yields.

This was the first time they had seen soybeans so late, so the producers were confused.<br \/>\nAt the end of October, the leaves finally fall and the harvest begins.<br \/>\nAfter harvesting with a combine, the next thing we have to do is struggle to remove the mud.<br \/>\nThey rent a warehouse from the agricultural cooperative, pour the beans onto a conveyor belt, and then repeatedly sort the mud and beans by hand.<br \/>\nThe manual labor was done by the farming women, and the mind-numbing work continued endlessly.<\/p>\n<h4>First harvest and introduction of sorting equipment<\/h4>\n<p>\u25ce 2005 (Heisei 17)<br \/>\nThe cultivation area was 27 hectares, with 22 producers.
