Azuki bean (Vigna angularis) belongs to Fabaceae (the Pea family). It is an annual herb that is native to northeastern China. It had been made improvements from "Yabu-tsuru-azuki" (Vigna angularis var. nipponensis). This herb was introduced into Japan in about 2000 years ago. It grows on a trailing vine. The yellow flowers appear on the axils from August to September. The keel petals are strongly curled. The fruits are cylindrical pods and the seeds are used as a raw material of bean jam, red bean soup with pieces of rice cake, and festive red rice.
