Aeon E-Heart Co., Ltd. (Location: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, President: Yoshinori Okuno, hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which operates restaurants in shopping centers nationwide, will be selling "Ooban-yaki" filled with "homemade chunky bean paste and zunda-an" for a limited time starting April 1st (Wed) at "Murasaki-an" (hereinafter referred to as "this store").

"Murasaki-an" is a "bean paste specialty store" where you can enjoy light meals and sweets using homemade chunky bean paste cooked in-store. To deliver seasonal flavors, we offer limited-time "Ooban-yaki" every month, tailored to the season and events. For the limited-time product from April, we will sell "Ooban-yaki" that combines "zunda-an" made with Hiden Beans from Iwate Prefecture and "homemade chunky bean paste." The zunda-an used this time is characterized by the rich aroma, natural sweetness, and moderate texture unique to Hiden Beans. When combined with our homemade chunky bean paste, which is cooked with less sweetness, you can enjoy a profound flavor. The contrast between the deep wisteria purple of the homemade chunky bean paste and the vibrant green of the zunda-an is visually striking, making it a recommended item for a small gift.
