Edamame (枝豆), pronounced eh-DAH-ma-meh in Japanese (ay-duh-MAH-may in English), is most popularly known as the little snack that is brought to you when you sit down to a table at a Japanese restaurant.

With a sweet buttery taste, these lightly boiled or steamed soybeans are not only delicious, but they’re also fun to munch on while waiting for the rice bowl or ramen or sushi platter to be served. If you’re in Japan, you’re most likely enjoy these fun snacks with some foamy cold beer.
