More about Wasabi...
Wasabi
is a member of the cabbage family. Known as Japanese horseradish, its root
is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more
akin to that of a hot mustard than a chile pepper, producing vapors that burn
the sinus cavity rather than the tongue. The plant grows naturally along stream
beds in mountain river valleys in Japan.
Sushi chefs usually put the wasabi between the fish and the rice. Wasabi is
commonly mixed with soy sauce to make a dipping sauce for sushi and sashimi.
The best way to enjoy wasabi is to apply wasabi after dipping into soy sauce
or apply wasabi to the top of the fish and then dip the bottom into soy sauce.
