Summary: <br> This was something I had been meaning to do since I arrived in Japan. Alex and I headed out to Namco Namja Town in Ikebukuro (map) this past Saturday in search of miracle fruit. I heard about miracle fruit about 6 months ago and was surprised to hear that it was available in Japan. I wrote myself a note and that note popped up in front of me this weekend so off we went.<br> Miracle fruit is the common name of Synsepalum dulcificum, a berry containing miraculin which has the power to stop sour tastes in their tracks. Alex and I went out to find the Miracle Fruit Cafe in Namja Town and this episode is our audio experience of trying miracle fruit.<br> Instead of show notes. I’m posting pictures and links here. The show is just us talking.<br> Show Notes:<br> <br> * Miracle Fruit <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_fruit">Wikipedia entry</a><br> * <a href="http://www.namja.jp/">Namja Town</a> website<br> * <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/heavylift/tags/miraclefruit/">Links</a> to Miracle Fruit photos from the restaurant<br> <br>
