Trails to Tsukiji

Manganji Togarashi (3x19)

Air date: Oct 04, 2017

Our focus this time is on the pepper manganji togarashi, a traditional Japanese vegetable that originates in Kyoto. Manganji togarashi may look spicy, but it's actually sweet, and is so well regarded it's even used in gift exchanges. We visit a group of farmers preserving this local specialty and a chef of Italian cuisine who uses it in a variety of exciting dishes.
