Myoga is a plant which spicy flower buds we Japanese like to eat in the summer time. It's called Japanese Ginger in Germany. That's right it has ginger like taste. Shiso and Myoga make an ultimate refreshing taste for a hot summer day ...
The red pink one in the lunch box is Myoga. It's used like herbs.
I adopt quite well to food where I live in but Myoga is something I was missing for long. I found it's available Rühlemann's and wondered for few years I shall have it or not. Finally I ordered two pots of Myoga recently and they arrived today. Party party!
I was curious how the company ships plants as there is no way to specify "do not turn upside down" in Germany ... or it may be quite Japanese-ish that we can do so. We suffered a lot from shipping when we were selling hundreds of Mobile Gardens, a portable plant pot with living plants after we introduced Mobile Garden in a TV show.
Here is how Myoga arrived:
Nothing special ;) I wonder how do they ship taller plants.
Anyway I'm so happy to have Myoga finally and motivated to help them grow to have some flower buds this summer.
I'll go to buy a deep pot for them on Monday.
ミョウガの苗が届きました。私にとって夏に欠かせない薬味で、ドイツではJapanese Ginger(日本の生姜)という名前で売られていることを知って、この数年迷って迷って最近ようやく注文しました。
ドイツの宅急便では天地無用を指定できず、どうやって届くのかと興味津々でしたが普通に包まれてやってきました。一応「生きている植物が入ってるよ!」という大きいステッカーは貼ってあったものの。もっと大きい植物だったらどう送られてくるんだろう。気になります。何はともあれ無事届いてよかったです。
思ったより鉢は小さいですが、夏に花ミョウガを収穫できるくらいまで育つのかな。いや、育てます!月曜日になったら深い鉢を買いに行ってきます。
紫蘇と生姜の組み合わせで冷たいうどん・・・雪の日に考えるには早すぎですが今から夏が楽しみです。
Japanese ginger sounds wonderful and I love the content of your lunch boxes! I look forward to seeing the plants grow.

Ya it’s a wonderful herb (?) I don’t know how to describe its taste other than fresh watery ginger 😅
I was into making my bento (packed lunch in Japanese) when I was a uni student. I was happy to remember good old days seeing the photos.

結構住めば都で現地の食べものを楽しみつつ、手に入る食材で日本食を作りつつなのですが、ミョウガ!あと毎年失敗しているゴーヤも今年はもりもり植えてがんばる予定です😊

As its taste is quite unique, I'm not sure everyone likes it but for me it's must for the summer time :)
