Akhuni (also axone) is a fermented soybean product commonly used in Naga cuisine of India and Myanmar.
== Etymology == The word Axone is from the Naga Sümi language, and is a combination of two words. Axo means "aroma" or "smell" and ne or nhe (similar word "tho") means "deep" or "strong". So it can be literally translated as "deep smell" or "strong smell".
