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.
