The Japanese restaurants in which I've eaten edamame served them warm,
with salt sprinkled on them. That's how we prepare them at home. Cold
beans rarely interest me

When edamame are served at many Japanese restaurants they are usually
somewhat warm. Perhaps, that indicates that they have been freshly
prepared. On the other hand, I have bought them at sushi counters, in
decent stores like Fresh Fields, where they are kept in a refrigerator
case like the rest of the sushi. They are quite enjoyable without
reheating
