The ZUNDA Jagariko

Today I got this snacks from one of my friend as a gift. She went to Tohoku area during the Golden Week. I envy her! It tastes delicious and a little salty. If I go to Tohoku, I'll want to eat them again.
Zunda is one kind of paste made from green soybeans. It has many theories of its name, the most famous theory is "break green soybeans", but it has another theory that Date Masamune cut soybeans with a sword called Jindachi. In Tohoku area, people called the jindachi "Zundatsu", then it called zunda in a corrupt form of Tohoku Japanese. It's interesting.
I hope I will be able to eat them again in the future.
