Wasabi わさび
Wasabi - Japanese horseradish
When it is first time to eat sashimi or sushi, many foreigners get surprised not only the raw fishes but also this hot stuff.

In Japan usually the prepared Nigiri-Zushi already contains wasabi between topping and rice, so that you do not need the extra wasabi. Even when you want to eat sashimi or sushi with wasabi, put just a little bit on the ingredients or mix on the say sauce plate. wasabi tube 1Fresh wasabi has fresh flavour and mild taste, but it is rare in Europe. When you buy for home cooking, it is recommended to buy a wasabi-tube. Powder is suitable when you need much of it.
