- 1
Boil the edamame until just tender, remove the beans from the pods, and peel off the thin skins from the beans.
- 2
For the marinade: Add all the marinade ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add more mirin.
- 3
Add the edamame from step 1 to the marinade, and let them soak in the refrigerator for 2 hours to half a day. They're ready to eat after marinating.

[Variation]
Make extra marinade from step 2 and use it to make cold ochazuke (rice with tea and toppings). It's also delicious served warm.

Additional Note 1*
If you can find green soybeans, soak them in water to rehydrate, then use them in this recipe. - 6
Additional Note 2*
In Nagano, ohitashi mame is often made with kurakake beans. I tried it with those, too!

Additional Note 3*
For New Year's, it's common to add kazunoko (herring roe) to ohitashi mame. This is another tasty way to enjoy it! - 8
