Moyashi - Soy Sprouts

Soy has been eaten in Japan since a very long time. It was mentioned even in the Kojiki - the oldest chronicle of Japan, "Record Of Ancient Matters" 712 A.D. Soy is an ingredient for toufu, soy sauce, miso paste. It is less known and less found as sprouts.

I ate it in nabe and grilled. It takes 4-5 days to reach the appropriate length. In the past, Kanto Moyashi grew about 10 tons of them every day. It is less spread, yet tasty.
