Japanese Food Tips

The best time to eat edamame (green soybeans) is August in Japan. Boiled edamame is a standard side dish served with alcohol, especially beer. Although edamame is sold as frozen food and can be eaten all year round, freshly boiled edamame is more delicious. The most delicious is just-harvested edamame. Edamame as a healthy side dish with alcohol is spreading throughout the world. If you eat edamame, be careful you also don’t eat the husk. You need to remove the beans from the husk. Actually, we once saw someone eat an edamame husk, and we had to teach her not to.
