Tip to beat the heat: Iced milk coffee with chopped wasabi toppingKOBE--For those looking for a more exotic taste in their coffee, UCC Foodservice Systems Inc. thinks it has the answer: wasabi. The restaurant provider, which is affiliated with beverage maker UCC Group and based here, now offers the unusual coffee product at its Ueshima Coffee outlets across Japan. Grated Izu Wasabi is mixed with the milk-based coffee, which is then topped with chipped wasabi.
several American coffee sites serve their version of Wasabi Latte:
Wasabi plus coffee shouldn’t make sense. But at New York City’s year-old Round K, a kitschy Korean coffee bar on the Lower East Side, owner Ockhyeon Byeon has blended two seeming foes into one unique union.
In order to build his wasabi latte, Byeon first creates a neon green simple syrup to which he adds the plant’s green paste. He mixes that with whole or soy milk (the latter is suggested), vanilla, and sugar. He froths the mixture, then pours it over a shot of espresso, depicting either a man’s face blowing smoke or a grinning cat staring back. Optional side dish? A caramelized onion cake.
