Myoga, a Japanese ginger eaten for its flower buds rather than its root, is being described as crisp, refreshing and mildly spicy, with a seasonal reputation as a taste of summer. Unlike common ginger, the plant is prized for the young buds harvested from beneath the soil, often served as a garnish or in salads.

Why now: Myoga is in season, prompting people to share and discuss this distinctive Japanese ingredient.
