Something about this seems off.....

What? Oni's can't have some beans?

Aren't oni suppose to be driven off by those beans or does that just work on that special day?

They are. I added this to the "How's that even possible" pool, because soybeans are expressely said to be an Oni weakness. Suika just put her fingers on acid/fire, so to speak.

I think it would be more like they're scared off by them, but yes, this belongs in the impossible pool.

Thought this might be relevant.

Or maybe they're hopelessly addicted to soybeans, and they can't resist it. Hence, it's their "weakness".

No, you throw them at oni to make them go away during Setsubun. They wouldn't run away if they enjoyed them.

Apparently it’s a pun. ^^;
