Myoga

Myoga is an herbaceous, perennial native to Japan.  It is edible flower buds and flavorful shoots and we use  as a garnish for soup, noodle etc.  Myoga have shown promise for potentially anti-carcinogenic as well.
My mom had a garden where had a lot of Myoga and she picked it up whenever she needed for some dishes when I was a child.  I think it was a really luxury time as Myoga is very expensive here in Singapore.

We also eat just cut smaller size and dip in Miso.  A chopped Myoga with a bit of soy sauce with a bowl of fresh white rice is also very delicious.
