Significance of Fresh Edamame

Edamame, a staple summer vegetable, is harvested before maturity and is packed with protein, calcium, potassium, and fiber. However, the quality diminishes over time after harvest. Thus, enjoying super fresh Tokyo edamame is highly recommended! Tokyo’s regions, including Nerima and Adachi, produce a variety of edamame, which can be purchased fresh at local direct sales spots.

Benefits of the Takabari Program

The Tokyo Agricultural Promotion Foundation is implementing a program to enhance the brand of Tokyo-grown agricultural products, including new research and techniques to ensure produce meets consumer expectations. The Tokyo Craft Edamame Fair and Fresh Farm Event are part of this initiative.

Gurunavi, known for its food information platform since 1996, continues to strengthen its services as a best partner in the restaurant industry, now under the brand name "Rakuten Gurunavi."
