    Real wasabi also rots very quickly, unfortunately. I live in Shizuoka Japan, where some of the best wasabi can be had. I can buy it in my supermarket. However, it is mush in just a few days in the fridge. This is one of the big reasons it is so expensive -- it doesn't travel. Those big stems they were harvesting were really lovely and would fetch about $15 each around here. But the big thing is that you might eat about 2 inches off the end of it, and be done. It just doesn't store. I've tried various ways of freezing it, and it doesn't work (it gets super bitter). You can often buy smaller stems for about $5 each and sometimes I buy them, if I'm doing sashimi, but the wasabi ends up costing me more than the fish! Well, that's another thing about living by the sea in Japan -- really cheap fish. So normally I eat it in the izakaya (sort of like a pub). I often just eat it by itself with beer. People think I'm mad, but it's *really* delicious!

    “The real one tastes like wasabi”
    Versus:
    “Real wasabi tastes more herbal than the horseradish stuff. It's hot but doesn't have a lingering, burning aftertaste. It's supposed to taste smoother, cleaner and more "plant-like" than its commonly used substitute. The horseradish paste served in restaurants is harsher and not as fresh-tasting.”
    That’s how you describe food, it’s as if a person who has never tried real wasabi could actually understand.

      The people who operate Truffle businesses in Europe often criticize their Chinese competitors to be selling pale imitations of the real thing.
      Truffles can grow in China but they say that foraging naturally grown ones from the alps result in healthier and better tasting Truffles than the Chinese farm grown variants.
      Despite all this, the Chinese continue to prove them wrong by selling truffles worldwide. Heck, certain companies in France itself prefer re-packaging Chinese truffles as opposed to selling local ones

    I've never really enjoyed Wasabi, because it usually tastes far too similar to horseradish, although I still use a bit whenever I eat sushi. However, I distinctly remember one time I got sushi, I fell in love with the Wasabi. I think the person who described it as "tasting like Wasabi, but without the horseradish flavor" was absolutely right. It had some spice, but was also slightly sweet.
    I've never looked into the difference between "common" and fresh Wasabi, but I knew that most had to have horseradish, which has always been to harsh for me to enjoy anything with it.
    I'm glad this popped on my recommended.

      Yeah, if you look at the ingredient list on a tube of wasabi paste or can of powder, the first ingredient is horseradish and the second is usually mustard of some type. If they have any wasabi in them at all, it’s a veeeeeery tiny amount. I don’t mind the fake stuff in small amounts, but I love real wasabi because I find the flavor and spice balance much more pleasant.

    Farms with running water are so beautiful. Rice paddies too. They're like scenes out of a fairy tale. I remember one where they actually have these small live fish that live in the shallow water and eat the tiny little invader bugs and their larvae before they damage the crop and apparently the fish droppings are rich in some obscure acid that is needed for the plant to thrive. Total natural ecology in this little farm. Wish I could remember what plant it was that were grown, does my description remind anybody of what it might be?

    • @homegrowntwinkie

      It's a certain type of grow setup. It's a complete mini-eco system. It's similar to hydroponic grows, but instead of liquid nutrients, the fish waste and such is where the get the nutrients. I've only ever had 1 friend that I know talk about this with me/know about this too. It's very underrated, however I do think you'd be more apt to find it being used in a Bud Grow-Op.

    If you ever tried real wasabi, or prepared wasabi with real wasabi (Hon-Wasabi, 本わさび) in it, you will definitely know the difference. And you'll probably cannot go back to the horseradish paste anymore.
    Hon-wasabi is slightly sweet, and do not have the unpleasant feeling like the horseradish paste. It is a pleasant, mild, and enjoyable fragrance, that go well with no only Japanese food like sashimi, sushi, udon, etc., but also steak and meat dishes.
    If you like Japanese food, I strongly recommend you to try the prepared wasabi with certain percentage of Hon-wasabi in it. It is less expensive than 100% Hon-wasabi or the wasabi plant. Although being more expensive than regular horseradish wasabi paste, they are totally worth it.

      That's because it only grows naturally in Japan... of course it's much cheaper there. You don't have to farm it, you just pick it. Load them on a truck for sushi establishments all over the country.

      If you weren't so dumb, you'd understand that that statement actually tells us a lot about its taste. What the girl is saying is that the real wasabi tastes like the imitation wasabi (wasabi that she's used to and what she automatically calls "wasabi")

    There's a specialty farm in Oregon that grows wasabi. Though it might've had problems with our recent heat waves and fires, the quality they produced a wasabi that was allegedly as good as you get in Japan.

    • @ThatWeirdDude40
      @ThatWeirdDude40 3 роки тому

      They probably sell it all to high class japanese restaurants. I think it may be quite lucrative, once you actually manage to get the farm running. There are - at best - very few things harder to produce than wasabi.
