After many years eating wasabi, on my last trip to Tokyo, one restaurant gave wasabi in its original form as your picture above. First time i saw it. we have to grind ourselves and provided plastic bag to bring back any unused portion.

Amazing plant.

Really is one amazing plant . Next shipment i see i got time to take more shots of it or not .

To eat the best out of this Wasabi , after grinding . You have to use the Knife tip to chop it . Because by doing this , it will bring out the natural RAW fragrance of every bit . Then to enhance the taste , you can add some flower buds or leaves together into the Soy Sauce , mixed it & ... WOW .. I feel like looking for some Raw Sashimi now ... :bava:

In a forest with trees , 'He' take the Flag & ran away when 'He' was on the horse towards the Castle . :sweat:
Posted Image

'He' was carrying the Horse Flag while a Warrior & Scholar was talking outside the Garden .
Posted Image

Under a tree with a mountain behind , 'They' are talking about something outside a Tent .
Posted Image

In front of the castle , 'He' on the horse is chasing the man in the front , while another man is chasing the horse .
Posted Image

'He' is pushing a Couple in a push-cart as the man with a weapon on the horse behind follows .
Posted Image

The man behinds pointed the man sitting on the doorstep as the 2 men greets him .

'He' was holding a tray of ??? as 2 men were talking with a beautiful landscape behind them .
