sugar-coated soybeans
A traditional Japanese sweet made by coating roasted soybeans with sugar, often associated with the Genji era or name.
Genji-mame is a sweet made from soybeans coated with sugar.
My grandmother sent me some homemade sugar-coated soybeans.
The name likely derives from the Genji (源氏) clan or era, though the exact origin is uncertain. The word simply combines 源氏 (Genji) and 豆 (bean).
