Kurosaki Chamame

The people of Niigata absolutely love edamame. In the summer, they welcome the season by going through mounds and mounds of the stuff. The Kurosaki area in Nishi Ward of Niigata City produces their own brand of edamame called "Kurosaki Chamame" which has been nicknamed the "King of Edamame" thanks to its wonderful texture, elegant sweetness, and rich aroma.
