What are these peanuts called?

A colleague recently brought peanuts back from Japan. They are very dry roasted, the skins are black. Here's a picture of me holding them: [1]

The packaging was all in Japanese - stupidly I didn't think to take a picture of the packaging itself. Anyhow, they're delicious and I'd like to know what they are called so I can find them in the UK. Or San Francisco as I'll be moving there soon.

They are roasted black soybeans. Check on Google Images. KägeTorä - (影虎) (TALK) 11:12, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Here is a guide to Japanese groceries in San Francisco. You can do your own search on Yelp for Japanese groceries in the UK. A little poking around on Yelp suggests that there are a few Japanese groceries in London, one in Manchester, and none in any other part of the UK. Marco polo (talk) 18:56, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
