    Where does real wasabi come from? John travels to the Japanese Alps to a valley in Nagano where the largest farm is located. Let's try some wasabi beer, wasabi ice cream, wasabi burger, wasabi juice ... it's all here! What makes wasabi so spicy? Are there any health benefits? We'll find out! 日本語字幕も付きました!

      WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN Tried Wasabi Kitkats there wasn't much kick to it. But I will definitely have to try the Wasabi Ice cream! Thank you so much again for this video, I have watched it ten times so far and find it more interesting every time I watch it

    I tried wasabi for the first time in High School in a multi-cultural fair, I assumed it was Japanise guacamole and I almost died.

      Milind h s it's blasts a hint of spiciness through your nose, ears, throat, eyes, I cried after eating like a whole tablespoon of it thinking it was ice cream.

    I love fresh wasabi, I remember the first time I had it and was surprised to find that it's really not spicy at all like the processed kind. Shizuoka also makes great wasabi and I am thinking of doing a video on that region. Thanks so much for this video as I had no idea that Nagano makes wasabi.

    I must say, the precision and effort in your videos are top notch. It's informational, the voice is great, and it's straight to the point. You're keeping them professional, which, I would assume is tough to do based on the recent trend in youtube videos.
    Normally consisting of:
    1. Talking loud
    2. Cringy Moments
    3. Forced Laughter
    4. Unknowingly degrading their own dignity.
    Anyways, regardless of that list up there, thank you for keeping it up.

    I never knew where wasabi originated from.I once had very weird tasting nuts in India(where wasabi isn't popular) and was wondering what the intrinsic taste was.Thanks a lot for giving such a good show.The way Japanese grow Wasabi in pure river bed water is simply so satisfying to watch.I am sure there can never be such pure water in agriculture in India.

    At first my mom was not really like wasabi, she thought it's spicy and shocking when eating. But now she gets used to it and totally loves it. We always have some little packs of wasabi paste in the fridge. And my mom always eats seafood with it as a dipping sauce. I can eat wasabi but not really into them. I think it's a spice that you hate at first and hesitate to try but when you get used to, you'll totally love it

    I bought a little wasabi plant in a pot from Borough market a number of years ago. Over the years I have repotted it and now it's a big strong winter plant. Every summer it fades and gets eaten by caterpillars or, most probably, slugs but as the temperature drops towards winter it grows back better than ever. I've not eaten from it yet, or tried to propagate it.....but I will 😊

    I hate wasabi, but I love spicy foods, it's the taste that gets me. Do we have real wasabi in the US? I know I can buy it in a jar or a sauce container, but not fresh. I'm wondering if it's real or of they just mix horseradish and other ingredients to make it resemble wasabi. I wonder if Japanese restaurants in the states use the fake wasabi?

    • @stfn112
      @stfn112 9 років тому +2

      Noslack412 I recently looked it up too, and apparently it is indeed horseradish mixed with mustard. I wonder if real wasabi is even spicier. I'm not a big fan of its taste (fake one anyway), but it's very interesting to see the effort that goes into it.
      They probably use the fake one too, the price would have to go up quite a bit if they had to import real wasabi. I'm guessing most people don't even know the truth about it.

      stfn112 It's has a wider flavor and isn't as edgy (hot) as the "fake" one... It just tastes better overall and way more "balanced"...
      Honestly... If I could decide between Real and Fake Wasabi, I would always decide for the real one...

      @WaoryuONLYinJAPAN  9 років тому +4

      Frederick König Nice combo! I had to Google Emmentaler Cheese and found it to also be called Swiss Cheese in the US. I think the wasabi can bring out the flavor it certain foods and some cheeses is a good example of that. Thank you! I'm going to try it as soon as I can find Emmentaler cheese in Japan. -John

    • @60frederick
      @60frederick 9 років тому +1

      WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN What? Emmentaler is called Swiss Cheese in the US? There are so many different cheeses here in Switzerland like the Appenzeller cheese, the Gruyere Cheese, the Tilsiter cheese, eg. If you like cheese and if you would be here I do recommend to you to try all different kind of Swiss cheeses. They are so おいしい!It is like all Japanese eat only sushi... I am so surprised!

      Jupp, even in Japan most of the wasabi is fake, only the high end places has the real stuff because it is so expensive with the growing conditions needed and slow growth.

      That's horseradish with food coloring. Have it in Europe as well. There is only one restaurant in the Netherlands with real Wasabi, but having a meal there is about $350.00

      In Lebanon you can choose what kind of wasabi you want. If you want the fake wasabi, it’s free. But if you want real wasabi, it’s 25$ and you need to eat it quickly because it looses its flavor in 20min.
