Edamame Farm | Japanese Superfood Snack Adventure ★ ONLY in JAPAN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2017
- Edamame is the world's healthiest snack food, enjoyed everywhere in Japan during the summer when it's harvested ー and it's my favorite Japanese appetizer by far ー but I also had a lot of questions about this amazing super bean:
★ How exactly do you eat them?
★ What's the best way to cook them?
★ How are they grown? Harvested?
★ Why are they different than soy beans?
★ How healthy are they (really)?
To find all my EDAMAME answers, I traveled from Tokyo to Noda in Chiba prefecture to visit Yumeaguri Noda (ゆめあぐり野田), a farm run by Sekine-san. I toured his farm and learned how to eat edamame like professionals.
Edamame facts:
☆ There are over 50 varieties of edamame in Japan (according the the kinds of seeds sold by JA).
☆ Edamame are high in calcium, amino acids, fiber, vitamins and minerals; low in sugar and fat and have almost no cholesterol.
☆ What does edamame mean? The word "edamame" in Japanese means (eda) stem / branch & (mame) bean.
WHAT EXACTLY IS EDAMAME?
It's an immature soy bean. It's harvested when still young then either boiled (for 4 minutes) or steamed with a little salt.
It's cooked in the pod and eaten by popping them out and into your mouth. Best enjoyed in Japan in the summer with beer.
WHEN IS THE BEST SEASON FOR FRESH EDAMAME?
It depends on the area. In TOKYO, it's from June to August.
In the north, it's from July to September. You'll find them in every supermarket for $3 to $5 a pack between June and September.
Frozen edamame are available year round.
Noda city is called the "HOME OF EDAMAME" and worth a visit if you are a big edamame fan! It's a 30 minute walk from Noda Station to Yumeaguri Noda ( ゆめあぐり野田 )

NOTES: The young man in the video is Sekine-san's son. It's a family business and he's the owner of the store. He gets help from local kids to plant the seeds so it's not just him out there :P He didn't use any known pesticides and there were some beetles and bugs in there but not many.

ONLY in JAPAN This was great info! Thankyou😀🇯🇵
Are you japanese 🤨
I love how happy the elderly man is showing off his farm and his knowledge of the edamame, I can't wait to visit Japan myself one day
Sekine-san was so happy to talk -- and that made it so hard to edit this to just 12 minutes!! hahaha
You could upload an extended version of it on your second channel?
Same.
that is absolutely adorable... the elderly are Always so heartwarming
Hey, all people older than you are not elderly. Human life span is 140 years or more. Be respectful.
I love it when you let your host speak without interrupting them, you are the best!

Thank you for your excellent videos, they are very professional.
amazing video! I love your informative videos like this one and the one about sake. please keep them coming
You create clear, well created, easy to understand videos about Japan - Thank you! Your videos makes me feel like I'm there experiencing it. Only the very best for you!
Great episode! I really like how the show keeps evolving. The drone shots and even the dynamic cameras (cameraman?) that followed you in the interview go a long way to make the show feel even better. Amazing work!
i like the way how you describe all the things in this video john!! keep it up!!
Loved the episode! It was amazing

But I think the vegetarians dont have many options in Japan..
Milind h s eat tofu
So clean, peaceful, and gorgeous women everywhere. : )
ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE NEW VIDEO!!! NEVER DISAPPOINTED
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video🙏
I can't say how much I love the intro for these videos.
Yay im early and freaking excited
love this show
This is the thing about Japan. Every region big and small has unique products. China needs to do this in a much better way somehow. Because of the Cultural Revolution, this type of unique characteristics for each town is lacking. Not totally lacking, but the way the Japanese do this is totally a game changer. It's the attitude and respect that is hard to nurture. This is what localized regional marketing is all about. Watching your video shows how much respect for culture japan the people have nurtured. It's part of our the Japanese do things, and with globalization in most of the world, Japanese is truly going to stay unique.
Nah mao zeedong for life
Are you kidding? Corporate American has raised destroying local character into an art form. Check out the recent history of Dublin (Texas) Dr. Pepper. There's more money to be made by homogenizing and commodifying than the reverse. Plus, I hardly think Edamame is unique. Soybeans are perhaps the most widely grown crop in the world.
@@snifey2233 I hate upvoting this, but, still, it's kinda funny, 'cuz the OP is falling in love with a Japan that doesn't really exist.
His passion is truly inspiring👍👍
I like the way he explains the conditions for growing Edame in different prefectures across Japan
One of my favorite videos of yours has always been the wasabi growing one. Great to have more in that same vein :)
"Fattoria di Sekine" :) Sekine-san must love Italy! And the edamame eaters sound effects really made my day! Thank you!
セキネさんの説明が分かりやすいです。
いろいろ枝豆のことを勉強になりました。ありがとうございます。
Edamame is my favorite snack! Thank you for letting me see how it's made!
One of the best channels, no click bait and good quality!!
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. It's a joy to watch your videos with tons of information to take in. Thanks, John!
I really love salted edamame, thanks for this video John san 😄
I wish I have a job like John, traveling and making videos about Japan
I love that it's such a small, home-based product. It's very inspiring. Plus, I love edamame!
glad i found this channel , make me want to visit japan , i love japan culture
I love all yours videos. Next time I visit Japan. I will visit their farm.
I love this channel. ❤️
thanks so much for this wonderful vlog, I love edamame but had no clue as to the varieties, types, farming methods...thanks! I'm now going to make my way to the freezer to grab that bag of microwavable edamame!!
You're very welcome and thank you for watching this episode on #edamame it was shocked at the number of varieties I didn't know after so long in Japan! Enjoy your edamame Marimo! -john
Great video! Edamame is my favorite snack as well.
Love your videos We learn all about Japan culture thank you
My God..the quality of this video is soooooo good. Loved it
GREAT VIDEO........LOVED IT..... I LOVE edamame!!!!!!!
I was introduced to "Edamame" this past week. I was a little turned off by the exterior. I thought to myself, "This cant be Good". Once I tried it..... I LOVED IT. I will be searching High and Low in my town for this delectable treat.
I love edamame and this video is awesome ☺️
I eat edmame like Sekinie-san too! That popping is really fun! As always, thanks for sharing such a great vid!
Just came back from Tokyo, really enjoyed my time there!
I love this man and his show!
Another great episode! Keep them coming John! Also I'm liking the new hair cut.
I like these video's they are interesting and a lot of things some of us won't be able to see or experience in our lifetime.
Edamame yum.......
It's so satisfying to watch his video
Good stuff. Informative (y)
Awesome episode!! Glad you made it back, I was worried about you on that boat!!! LOL Love from Canada!!!
Hahahah the sound effects of the beans popping were so cute :) good choice!
The cold soup of the green soybean is great; is delicious.
Awesome episode John.....
I love this channel
I like edamame for sure, but now i will for sure appreciate it even more. So much dedication and hard work. One more reason to love Japan!!!
CatalinaCNV hiii
Great video! I love edamame
Sekine san is awesome.
Hi John, just watched the saved live stream in Instagram. Just love your channel, and your enthusiasm. The funniest video was the night festival where you were in the haunted house!! 😂😂😂😂 💖
I always like your way to make videos.. Good Job John
GJ John great video!
i love this channel
4 bucks for a packet is pretty expensive. In Sikkim we have a smaller variety of Edamame and it tastes really good. Farmers sell them boiled and it's really cheap but seasonal. Thanks so much for another great high quality episode. You always put so much effort and thoughts in your videos it's inspiring and admirable.
Lin Yiling you're right that it's not cheap but the cost of living and growing produce in Japan is quite high compared to India so we have to go with the market. They're SOLD OUT FAST at this price :p I'd love to try the ones in Sikkim! I wonder how they compare in taste.
I was born and raised in Japan, I grew up eating Edamame every summer yet I didn’t know Edamame is Soybean no mae no dankai.
Haha, your way of eating edamame is unique.
Today I’m going to plant edamame and hope it will grow well this time.
Kono video tukuttekurete arigatou! Nihongo ga umai desine!
Love your content, always enjoy the new videos on here and the livestreams. I've been subscribed for the past year 😁
I love veggies^^ and seeing fresh
Edamame is my all time favorite snack. So good with beer.
this is amazing
It's also a very popular summer snack in China. We call it 毛豆(mao dou, literally translates to "furry bean").
Harry Lin hi harry LIN. how is going.. Its great to visit in Japan.
I love edamme!! I always keep stock in my fridge!
THe production quality of this channel is amazing1
Love your videos John.
I can't remember how i came accross or discovered your channel or what's the 1st video i watched but it happened just last month. I've shared some of your vlogs on my facebook and some of my friends are now susbscribed to your channel as well. My ultimate dream since i was a kid is to travel Japan, hopefully it will happen soon. Thank you for doing this and thank you for showing the world the wonders of Japan and it's people 🇵🇭
Watching each month still the best veggies^^
日本人としてこのような動画はとても嬉しいです！ありがとうございます:)
Yay! Finally a traditionally "Only in Japan" style video! I love this style of video you make and that is what brought me to this channel originally. The Live and Vlog style videos are alright but I am a purest and love this style. I love the educational/informational value about Japan and Japanese culture shown in this format. I know you have been doing a lot more of the other style videos over the past few months and I have watched what I can (Live is hard to catch due to time differences). I know it takes a lot more time and effort to make this style vs. the Vlog style or Live videos but the quality in these is far above the quick and dirty Vlog style. Thanks for keeping these kinds of videos in your repertoire!
p.s. I am a hamster style Edamame eater, too!
Love Edamame as much as your show, its always fresh and tasty!(but your shirt is grungy, ha ha.) Keep up the great work! Hope to see you explore Sato island.
I love those lol ty.. I was going to do my shopping and did not even know I wanted these until I watched this video lol
Puerto rico, present!! Love only in japan!!
Everything in Japan village side looks pleasant and calm and not to mention the nice architecture and road structure.
This is amazing! We are planning to grow them in our Allotment Garden next year! In the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Amazing video
Great quality content
great content!
I love your videos
Thank you for such a very thorough report on soybeans in Japan! 🌞 As an American kitchen-gardener, this is giving me lots of great tips on how to grow soybeans for this year. Thank you!
Imagine.
When you are watching Japanese fireworks 🎇,
with having Edamame and beer 🍻 .
Nothing could be better(≧∀≦)
You and Sekine-san eat them about the same way I do. I LOVE Edamame too because they're excellent for certain conditions like stomach issues. They're delicious too! 😋
Hey John !
I need more Japanese street food video!!!
Like, Taiyaki, and Imagawayaki.
Shibatan Tokyo is imawagayaki similar to dorayaki?
Mikan Yuuki
I don't think so.
It tastes different.
However,
These foods are the same at containing Anko inside.
Instagram follower over here! As usual, great content. My maternal grandfather was a farmer in Mexico, he would take my cousins and I out to his fields to harvest edamame, we would boil them and eat them like you. Lovely memories ;)
So satisfying to watch you. Hope to meet you one day😊
I have just had the bean yesterday when eating sushi 🍣 it so good
Notification squad where ya at???, i love your channel soo much i wish you had your own tv show man
Everytime I watch your videos, I always want to go back. I hope you get more subscribers so people can see the best of Japanese culture 👍 Greetings from Philippines
