I love wasabi. I love ginger. Each of these things alone are enough to pique my interest, and their combination almost always delivers agreeably. I recently made wasabi-ginger beef (marinate sukiyaki-cut beef in mirin, wasabi, and ginger for an hour, then fry in same), and am forever dumping wasabi and/or ginger on things just to brighten them up.
I’m a big fan of ginger ice cream, and I did in fact like wasabi ice cream the one time I found it. Consequently you might imagine my joy at discovering these: Wasabi-ginger Lollipops. Expensive? Yes. Perhaps unreasonably, except for the fact that they are wasabi-ginger lollipops.
Sharp and not too sweet, I admit I’d have liked a bit more wasabi flavor (as opposed to heat), but I wouldn’t not gobble them up. If, for instance, someone deigned to send me a box.
