Daikon salad with wasabi sauce

On the weekend, I went to Minatomirai in Yokohama (map) with a friend of mine. Yokohama was developed as a port city 150 years ago so that means there are many old buildings and small houses near the port. Some of the places look empty and give you a feeling of a place dying out.

However, this area called 'Minatomirai', which is just at the port was renovated in a modern way and now it's more like an urban sea-side entertainment complex with theme parks, cinemas, concert halls, bars, cafes, art spaces and shopping malls. This place fascinates a lot of camera people as well as it creates a romantic yet nostalgic atmosphere.

Today I will make a salad for summer time. When you don't feel like cooking or eating oily things, then why not make a salad with a wasabi sauce. The wasabi might increase your appetite.
Ingredients:
daikon
lettuce
wasabi(1tsp)
mayonnaise(1tbsp)
vinegar(1tbsp)
salt

1- Finely cut the daikon and lettuce.

2- Make the sauce. Mix wasabi, vinegar, mayonnaise and a bit of salt.

3- Mix 1 and 2 together.

You can also cool it down in a refrigerator before eating.

Itadakimasu!
