The 2024 Tambasasayama Black Edamame release date is fixed on October 7th, Monday.
Fewer black edamame will be available after October 25th .
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.
Last October, 700, 000 people visited Tambasasayama City and it was the largest number ever. Heavy traffic is expected this year as well.
To ensure that customers can purchase Tambasayama specialty products safely and securely, we are promoting our Internet sales this year as well.
We recommend purchasing at the online shop portal site, “Ouchi de Tambasasayama (Tambasasayama at home)”. You can check and purchase the local products from various farmers and shops in Tambasasayama.

➢ During lunch time, parking lots and restaurants in the castle town are expected to be crowded with people and cars.
If you visit Tambasasayama by car, we recommend that you arrive before 10:00 am as parking is likely to be scarce.
➢ Please make a reservation in advance for restaurants or take advantage of takeout.
(Last year, many people had difficulty finding a place to have lunch, as there are many small restaurants that have reduced the number of seats due to infection control measures.)
