Mukimame is shelled edamame.
I buy it frozen. A local supermarket has two different brands that sell it as mukimame. Trader Joe's has it too. They call it shelled edamame. I don't remember but I think it's not frozen and it's with the veggies.
Edamame (枝豆) is a Japanese dish prepared with immature soybeans in the pod. The pods are boiled or steamed and may be served with salt or other condiments. The dish has become popular across the world because it is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, and isoflavones. When the beans are outside the pod, the term mukimame is also sometimes used in Japanese.
Edamame are a common side dish in Japanese cuisine and as an appetizer to alcoholic beverages such as beer or shōchū. As an ingredient Edamame are found in both sweet and savory dishes such as takikomi gohan, tempura, and zunda-mochi.
I'm not a good cook so I don't have a recipe to share but I had a quick look at this page and it seems pretty good

As for texture and taste, cooked edamame beans are slightly softer and sweeter, while mukimame beans are firmer with a nutty, buttery flavor.
