寿梨庵
Found at the supermarket 👀 Edamame season is here again this year 🫛. There are many varieties in Niigata, but it starts with this very early Yahiko-Musume and lasts until about October 👉. Yahikomusume is shipped with branches, roots and leaves. Probably only Yahikomusume has this shape ✨. It makes me so happy when I see them in the stores 😆. To match is Tamagawa Sake Brewery @ Echino Snow Brewery in Uonuma City, which brews Tama flavor: ❄️ A crisp Niigata junmai ginjo with a mature taste. Slightly sweet and low in alcohol. It has an acidity and a light, dusty taste 😌.

Good evening, Jurian! I see they are already selling edamame! As expected of the producing area, they are early 🫛. I used to grow edamame in my vegetable garden once upon a time, and freshly picked edamame tastes the best 😋.

Good morning, Matsuchiyo 😊. In Niigata, it starts this time of year after GW. It doesn't have a strong flavor like tea beans for example, but it tastes fresh and young 🫛.

Jurian, good evening 🌇. Yahiko musume seems to be early👍 I used to think that the edamame season lasted until August, but a few years ago I had the chance to taste the most flavorful ones in September, and once again I was reminded of the depth of Niigata edamame.

Hiraccio, good evening 🌙 For me, seeing Yahiko musume with branches is a seasonal tradition 🫛. It's a bit expensive and not often sold in Ojiya 😅.
