What do you think this is?
If you don't know the answer, here is a clue! I'm going to make some traditional Japanese food using this 4cm tall kawaii polar bear (yes, it's a bear!) and the black soybeans shown in the photo below.

The answer is an iron object shaped like "Shirokuma" (the polar bear), one of the main characters from Sumikko Gurashi (which translates to "Life in the Corner"). However, you might still wonder how this cute polar bear is used when making sweet black soybeans.
This iron bear is used to make kuromame (sweet black soybeans), a traditional Japanese New Year food, darker and shinier⭐ I used to use rusted nails, but I threw them away (as I usually do😅). So, I bought this cute iron polar bear and made the special New Year food using him. Look at the shiny kuromame in the picture below♬

2020 was the year of COVID-19, forcing people—including myself—to stay home. However, it gave me a chance to make sweet black soybeans from scratch instead of buying them. It took 12 hours, but it was so much fun making something from scratch! I also made onishime, another traditional Japanese New Year food, which I will write about in a future post!

すみっコぐらし、お聞きになったことぐらいあるのでは？ でもこのしろくまちゃん🐻❄を何に使うかはお分かりですか。
鉄玉で～す！今年はステイホームなので黒豆を煮ることにしました。でも以前使っていたさびくぎを捨ててしまっていた｡｡｡ ということで、この「すみっコぐらし鉄玉」で黒豆ピカピカにしました😊！ 砂糖は少な目。とってもおいしいです。お煮しめも作りました。別の記事に書きま～す！
