Well, that is sort of a trick question, really. The word "edamame" is definitely Japanese. So far as the word refers to a preparation of immature soybeans in the pods boiled in water, typically with salt the origins are much less clear. The dish is perhaps most popular in Japan, but it is also found in China and Korea. As with many things Japanese, there is some debate over whether it originated in Japan or in another East Asian country. There is some evidence that "beans in the pod" were referenced in China about a 100 years before the earliest mention of "edamame" in Japan (in a letter from a Japanese monk written in 1275), but since this was in a book of poems, it is considered less reliable.
