White Chocolate Wasabi

Lingling: Wasabi's aroma and flavor can be maximized if the oroshigane pattern spells out 'wasabi' in Japanese characters. But this is a breakthrough of a breakthrough. I've had this oroshigane custom-etched in Thai script. The curves of the Thai script create a unique turbulence that the Japanese characters couldn't create. It doesn't taste like wasabi anymore. It tastes like heritage. It's localizing a global flavor. It's a linguistic-culinary breakthrough.

Miu: It smells like wasabi, and it tastes like wasabi.

Orm: It feels like I'm breathing the clean air in the mountains of Japan, but it also feels like Bangkok is talking to me. It's quiet, it's loud. It's clean, it's hot-it's a whiplash. It's weird. It's brilliant!

Lena: It's pedantic. A pedagogue for the culinary uninitiated. Would the community appreciate the thought process, or would they prefer to eat something that doesn't need a long-winding explanation?
