Japanese Wasabi Paste | S&B 43g

Made with a combination of wasabi root and Japanese horseradish, the heat generated by this wasabi is different from the heat generated by chili, as the heat of wasabi stimulates the sinuses, cleanses the palate, and helps bring out the flavor of other foods. Add small amounts of wasabi to cold sushi, sashimi, or soba noodles. Wasabi is well known in Japan and around the world for the intense heat it provides when eating just a small bite. Unlike chili (where the heat is felt primarily on the tongue), wasabi's heat is felt primarily in the sinuses, creating the dual effect of cleansing the palate and bringing out the flavors of other foods.
