Trails to Tsukiji (2015)

Season 3: Episode 21

With a plump, appetizing shape and striking red-purple color, the Japanese herb myoga adds a refreshing flavor and aroma to dishes and enhances the appetite. The herb's unique taste also helps give Japanese cuisine richer flavors and brings out the true character of the main ingredients with which it is paired. Join us as we explore a farm in the middle of Tokyo that helped revive the traditional myoga, and see it used in surprising ways in Italian cuisine.
