The 2025 Tambasasayama Black Edamame release date is fixed on October 10th, Friday.
*The harvest, the level of maturity, and the best timing for harvesting differ among farmers.
*Please note that only fully matured edamame will be available on the market, and sufficient quantities may not be guaranteed immediately after the release day.
Fewer black edamame will be available after October 27th .
At the end of October, the texture of black soybeans becomes tough and cannot be enjoyed as Edamame. Therefore, those beans will be harvested as Kuromame (Black soy beans) in November to be cooked and served for New Year’s dish.
Around 500,000 to 600,000 people are expected to visit Tambasasayama City during the Aji Matsuri Festival, causing heavy congestion again this year.
