Ken,

Do you mean Konnyaku?

If so, Konnyaku is a gelatin like food made from the flour of a lily-like plant called Konjac. Relatively tasteless on it's own, it does a good job of absorbing the flavor of the liquids it is cooked in. Used often in dishes such as sukiyaki or oden.

obviously very different but, to an outsider, seems to perform a similar role, re picking up other flavours, as does shark fin. though i wish it would be banned.

not sure what happened there. tried to say to yoss and sensai, but not coming up on mine, was that had family holidaying in japan last couple of weeks - they brought me back some green tea from the very first leaves of the season. it really does take tea to a new level in my limited experience.

Ichiban-cha, I believe it is called. Very good indeed.

Speaking of very good, I'm going to have a '03 Siglo VI in about 30 minutes. Can't wait.
