The Yoshinoya Sweet & Spicy Edamame is being added to the brand's menu as a side option that responds to increased consumer interest in dual-flavor fare. The side dish starts off with the brand's steamed and lightly salted soybeans that are then tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce before being finished with Shichimi seasoning. These ingredients combine to provide a sweet, spicy and salty flavor experience that pairs perfectly with the soybeans to elevate the simple side dish into something special.
The Yoshinoya Sweet & Spicy Edamame is being offered at all participating locations, but will only be around for a limited time. The menu item will pair well with a variety of the brand's existing fare.
