枝豆

I do not remember if I have ever tried these so called 枝豆 before... but they actually tasted better than I have imagined since they are very "hairy"... This restaurant we were at incidentally is called Edamame (枝豆) and this dish is their signature....not a bad place .... although I would not go there to have regular dinner (it is not the cheapest venue and I felt a lot of the food were deep fried -- or we have ordered too much of it -- and it might just give people the wrong impression of what Japanese food is all about -- I am not saying I know anything about what it really is!!)... quote from their web site it said that it serves "authentic home cooked style Japanese food"....
