Edamame is an authentic Japanese eatery in Oxford. We serve our own style of home-cooked food, offering various Japanese dishes, and sushi, at low prices. It is not a sushi bar and it is not a formal Japanese restaurant. It is a very casual and friendly setting that might not appeal to people in search of more formal dining!
However, everyone is most welcome, and we do our very best to make you feel comfortable through what might be for some a new kind of dining experience. In Oxford there are several formulaic chains and Asian "fusion" food outlets. At Edamame we fiercely maintain our policy of serving only authentic Japanese food, that we carefully prepare and then serve to you with much pride.

History
Report
Owners Peter and Mieko met in Tokyo in 1991. Peter was working as a sound engineer based at the Japanese office of Solid State Logic (SSL), that has its headquarters in Begbroke, just north of Oxford. Mieko was a professional singer and an excellent cook! Their shared interests in music and food brought them together and so it remains over twenty years on.
Party Bookings
Report
It is possible to book Edamame for private parties on Wednesday evenings. Parties usually start at about 7pm, and they need to finish by 9pm to comply with the terms of our building's lease. Unfortunately we are usually unable to take party bookings for any other time. The maximum seating capacity is 30.
Work
Report
A minimum availability of twelve hours a week is required. You should be available to work for a minimum of one year, preferably for much longer. You should be friendly and motivated, and work with high levels of initiative and common sense! Experience of having worked in a lively restaurant environment as part of a hard working team is an advantage.
Sushi
Report
We operate a fixed set of sushi takeaway collection time slots which need to be reserved in advance. We operate this system of sushi takeout slots so that our level of service to guests eating inside the restaurant is not compromised by a high demand for takeouts. To avoid having to wait long at the door for your takeaway we strongly suggest you call ahead with your order to reserve a convenient collection time.
