Notes
To eat, hold the stem end, dip lightly into Sakura sauce, and then pull the bean pod through your teeth so the soybeans pop out and you scrape the char onto your palate.
You can also choose to steam the edamame but the flavor is better grilled.
Japanese mayonnaise tastes different from American mayonnaise. You can substitute but the flavor will be altered.
Nanami Togarashi is a blend and not just pepper. It has a distinct flavor. Do not sub with black pepper; just omit.
