We found something rather cute today in Itoshima along Route 202.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A local farmer has set up an old and doorless refrigerator as a self-serve honor-system shop to sell his edamame (green soybeans.) But the fun doesn\u2019t stop there!<\/p>\n

The shop\u2019s name is Edamame Ultraman, \u201curu\u201d sounds like the Japanese word \u201cto sell\u201d but also refers to the superhero, and the edamame packages are labeled \u201cJyukujo Edamame,\u201d The term jyukujo roughly translates to \u201cattractive older women\u201d or \u201cripe women.\u201d So be careful if you do a Google search with this word, as the results may not be safe for workspaces. You have been warned.<\/p>\n

Hyakushouya Farm, grows rice, wheat, and soybeans in the Nijo-Masue district of Itoshima. Their edamame is sold on the stem in September and October.<\/p>\n

Much of his crop was damaged this year by the heavy rains, but some of the hardy Jyukujo Edamame are available for \u00a5350 a bag. Supplies are limited.<\/p>\n
