Hon (True) Wasabi 
Producer:Tokyo Food

Suggested uses:Combine with soy sauce and use as a dipping sauce for sushi, sashimi or steak, or to add a unique flavor and heat to dishes. Use it to add flavor in TabiEats’ Wasabi Don (Rice Bowl) and Mushroom Spaghetti  recipes provided.

Have you tried real wasabi? Typical wasabi, even most sold in Japan, is actually grated horseradish that has been flavored and dyed. Real wasabi is made by grating the wasabi root which is considered one of the rarest and most difficult crops in the world. It’s not overwhelmingly spicy but instead has a quick flush of heat followed by a lingering nuanced aroma of spiciness with a herbaceous flavor and subtle natural sweetness. We encourage you to taste the true flavors!
