I love your knife collection. Where can I buy them?
I had Sushi bought from store today. I dipped the sushi with wasabi (fake one). Gosh!!!!! All a sudden I had brain freeze!!!!!! You are right!!! Went straight to my nose, to my brain. I thought I was about to pass out! My family saw my face turned red. I spitted it out. Never ever eat Wasabi anymore. My husband said it's not like hot sauce. I can handle the hottest chili in the world, but this thing, nastiest!!!!
Thank you
Very good channel stay connected 👍
eye-opener
Thank you for this information.
You’re welcome!
We have a sushi bar thing in our town, they grind it right infront of us. It's a small family owned business.

Is the 'shark skin grater' produced from genuine shark skin?
There is no link under the text "Where To Get Real Wasabi"
what knifes are those
instead of a sharkskin grater can I use a sandpaper
So true! Processed colored dyed ginger also...I never eat fake powdered wasabi 2 much color,its sad.Great video!
Never knew wasabi root was real. Always assumed it was just horseradish and food coloring in all cases. I learned something today. Thanks.
Just read the label. You can find it at asian markets. It is also available online from a place the south.
Where can you buy the real stuff
Are those Shuns in the background?? if not what are they?
nope, Miyabi knives
how long would you say a wasabi root lasts you?
1 month max but you have to store it in a particular way.
I've known for a long time that most wasabi is fake just because I read ingredients on everything. But I had no idea that real wasabi tastes so different
Great
Could you please explain how to make cheap wasabi at home🙏
Ingredients and how
For restaurants, they sell these big bags of a kilo of fake wasabi powder, for that stuff you simply just mix it together with water until its at the right consistency do you want it at.
Freshly grated wasabi can never really be cheap because it takes so long to grow and requires a lot of water and specific temperatures.
By the way, please don’t forget to share this video. It helps me a lot when people share it. Thank you.
This is a great, informative video. But you may want to smile every now and then :)
haha, thanks for the tip 😅
Fu smile baby
I was looking for "about" on your website. How did you become such an expert on Japanese food?
He is not an expert. Only someone that collect information in internet and books, and call his self as "chef".
How do you know? His demonstrations are excellent. Of course I will not compare him with a Japanese expert....
winki07
The demonstrations of him are not excellent. Its very well for a beginner learn and he had a good idea to make those videos, but he is far and far to be expert. I know the techniches (of course not as a Japanese Itamae - its necessary 10 years of learning to say that you are a real sushiman in Japan) and I can recognize how much someone knows about this too.
Anyway, i couldnt say im a "chef" or expert. He even haven't the basics skills of kitchen. Call his self as chef is an absurd.
Other example: he said wasabi is hard to cultivate, tryed to say the reason, but said nothing, maybe because received only this limited information from the sponsor.
Wasabi needs specificalls conditions, like clear and current water and the most rare: temperatures between 5° and 20° Celsius (not more and not less) during ALL the year, as it is on its regions in Japan.
Anyway, it beggins to be cultivated in other points of the Globe, such as New Zeland, Pacific North (USA) and England, that have similar conditions as in Japan.
His informations about sushi and its technics are limited as it was for wasabi.
Ok. You seem to know a lot :)
Why didn't you place the grated Wasabi on Cling Film instead of resting it on your wooden counter top ?
MUCH more hygenic and retains the freshness of the Wasabi Paste better.
where can I get wasabi
in Europe you can get some real wasabi here: www.thewasabicompany.co.uk/
I Can-Not believe I have been eating fake wasabi!
wow...that means that i have not tasted real wasabi before...mindblown!!
then go to Japan and eat real one lol
@@jojobp
you gotta get your money up lol 。
I learned something today About wasabi🎉
Why not just use wasabi extract?
link to get outside of EU don't work
What if you are from South Africa? Where would be the cheapest?
thanks for the information man!!
I like the burning of the horseradish. But then, my Russian grandparents grew horseradish on their farm. When they ground it up, we had to open up all the windows :)
Fair enough, but you should try the real stuff first and then make a decision, it is really much better
What about Australia?
I would suggest using anything not made of sharks...
The shark skin is more traditional, there is no problem with using ceramic or metal graters.
Felt like i ate that for dinner once :o
who was the first person to ever decide to take a random root from the ground and rub it a against shark skin
Tom Hanks in Castaway.
someone who was very hungry
that also goes for anything from intestines to truffles
@@atcera8714 what about raw oysters?
I seriously ask that of so many things. Like a snail. Who looked at it and thought, Hmmm... I should put that in my mouth? haha
Have you thought about adding a Forum page on your website? Where you can talk to your users? Share recipes? Etc? :)
I wish you would do a video on Saki.please?
Vincent Schiavelli joung
Ahaha this is so cool cause i actually dont like fake wasabi, its chili feeling or spicy to me was always so annoying so i was happy wasabi isnt meant to be like that! Thanks chef
WOW, man I am crazy about your channel.....!
Luis Santos I want to try it, I cannot believe I have been enjoying it... no! thanks for letting me know!
really? that easy? cool!!
thats crazy a sharkskin grater ? will jcustoms let that ship to you
That knife is beautiful and so is the guy using the knife lol
I seen you comment on a house of the rising sun video
My love for wasabi has all been a lie 😭😂
What accent is this? Dutch / New Zealand...?
omfg thanks so much dude now i will throw away the fake ones out the bin i always think that the tubes are real stuff. Lol
Loved it!
wilma flintstone
This is fascinating, I had no idea that real wasabi wasn't what I thought it was. This is really cool to know, thank you!
You're welcome Nicole!
lol, I thought wasabi was just some kind of Japanese horse radish
I'm sure you're not the only one ☺In my life at least I know most people don't really know what it is, me being one of them lol
wow! thanks for the video :)
Please come over and make me some sushi now. Thanks for the vid
That stuff is 50USD+ per lb.
why was it covered in a damp cloth at the begining?
Since wasabi usually grows in river beds it likes to stay moist. Keeps better that way
Now that I look at your videos twice, after reading that comment about you being dutch. I'm even more mindblown ! you are dutch !!. Hoe kan ik Wasabi wortel vanuit Nederland krijgen?
Its not a root.

The stuff sold as "oregano" in supermarkets is actually western sage. Real oregano is available in some health food stores but is mucho dinero expensivo.
Hi chef! It seems that all articles on the Kazari website are sold out...is the website still alive? Do you know another source of good quality products? Thanks!
I thought wasabi was a spicy avocado 🥑
Sonoma county wasabi
3 years to grow o.O
WHAT the berning flavor of wassabi I love so mutch is not what the really wasabi is like well I guess I just really love horseradish
I just realized it wasn't real when I bought extra wasabi to go ith my sushi the other day and I saw horseradish as an ingredient. Does the fake wasabi taste anything like real wasabi?
Mate u make it sound like 95% of sushi restaurants are charlatans, but in reality it doesn't sound like just a cost limitation, but more of a supply vs. Demand issue if it's so rare and hard to grow.
There's nothing wrong with lowering costs but why can sth that has like 3% of wasabi in it be called "wasabi". The restaurant lie to us but the real charlatans are the ones that allow sth like this. There are so many ways the industry trolls us...
296 people apparently don't like wasabi 🤷♂️
Sorry, can't get over the thumps down. Why? ...The internet ist weird...
My man and I went to a super fancy sushi restaurant where everything was VERY authentic. There were no rolls, just nigiri and traditional sides. The wasabi was made in front of us along with the sushi. It was so much better than any other "sushi" and "wasabi" I've ever tasted.
I kno it's been 3 years but do you happen to remember the name? Lol
@@RetroRageasaurus HA Nah you good love! And yeah! I believe it's Sasaki which is an omakase style restaurant. Omakase is basically just the chef choosing their own selection of sush or "nigiri" and other dishes each time. And it's usually expensive and nice 😁.
@@dreajplmao omg, thank you so, very much!!
@@RetroRageasaurus Of course! If you get the chance to go with COVID going around and money not being right at times, please ENJOY yourself! 🤗
Przez Ciebie straciłem moje wasabi. Nie trzyma się go w wodzie, nigdy!
Cars 2 mater ice cream
what? there was no ice-cream in this video...
No mater wasabi like ice cream
Wow, i was just learning about this, I was in Japan for a holiday 2 years ago and had a ton of sushi, fanatstic but hmmmm was that real Wasabi? at the cheap places probably no but at the less cheap places (cant afford rich) frequented by locals??
What are some alternatives to shark skin? I just dislike the idea of using shark skin.
there exist ceramic or metal graters that simulate the same action as the shark skin grater. You can find them online. +Charles Maxwell
+Charles Maxwell
it's not shark ;-) that would be "smooth" - it's rayfish
+chefalbino I think they mean they dislike the idea of using something made from an animal. (There's plenty of vegetarian sushi out there yo)
i know ;)
and still: it's no shark ;) - it's ray (just saying)
MIDORIMUSHROOMS im rolling...XD
came here after lil mix song wasabi
is the real wasabi spicy?
Blocky Animations it's not as spicy, but it's still there. It also has a slight sweet taste as opposed to the horseradish that burns your nose.
Your hondsome
I'd heard before that the green stuff you get isn't real wasabi -- but as someone who grows horseradish in my garden, I wonder how they get it *that hot*... I wonder if they grind up a few hot pepper seeds with it? Not sure about its flavour or heat in the UK, but in Canada it is INSANELY HOT! Whereas when I grate fresh horseradish it has some heat to it, but you can still taste the roast beef through it.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this, thanks for making it!
The finer and longer you grind horseradish the hotter it becomes.
I think wholesale is $90 a pound for real wasabi. Sushi would be extremely expensive if real wasabi was used. Supermarkets wouldnt sell it either since theyd have to charge 100 bucks for that size of a root used in the video.
Well technically Horseradish and Wasabi are both in the same taxonomic Family: Brassicaceae lol no doubt they are different. But still related :P
I just bought real wasabi for the first time in 5 years yesterday (freeze dried sadly, but still better than any other local options).
When I realized my Mom, who likes "wasabi" has never had the genuine article, I prepared a bit. Much to my dismay, she preferred the fake stuff.
Interesting turn of events, not too surprising though people tend like like what they know, maybe one day try getting the fresh root and grating it yourself because I can't believe that freeze dried and then re-hydrated will taste the same as a fresh root....
Well, last I knew, a very large American grower of Wasabi is in my county. I saw on a website, that they sell fresh root in a whole food chain I go to (but in another town). I know they do a lot of exporting now, so who knows if they still sell local. If I have the cash, I'll give them a ring.
if you have assess to fresh horseradish root is that better than dried store wasabi
I tried it yesterday and I tried to like it...but no :(
I knew it, I fucking knew it. I love horseradish and ever since I started to eat sushi, I always thought wasabi is a variety of horseradish. I never been to an extremely fancy sushi place, nor to Japan, so its a fairly safe bet I never had the real wasabi.
Idk if u have mention this before but... where are you from?
Love the videos..
At my sushi bar we use a mixture of 70/30 ratio. 70 being real wasabi, 30 horse radish. It's very expensive we don't give it for rolls, only nigiri & sashimi
Hahaha! He said horshe radish
I though it would be a little more pricie not £9.99
+Ella Aitken still expensive for a root wich otherwise grow in abundance
I always grate my own wasabi
that's great! I wish I could get wasabi rhizomes more easily here.
Nice one, I have watched your early youtube attempts and have grown a long way. Way to go and keep it up !
i like wasabi...its for the real asian food lover .. and its a challange by it self ... fake or not ... it taste great .
He wasn't kidding when he said it was expensive.... $85.00 for a half pound!
How long can that last for?
Max 1 month, but to keep it that long you need to keep it half submerged in water and in the fridge changing the water every 3-4 days to avoid rot.
you pay for what you get. trust me. real wasabi is so much better. you will never want to go back
its not like that huge spice as fake wasabi has. its more grassy with a hint of spice. it honestly tastes like it was made to go with raw fish
Amazing videos. Greetings from Mexico!
It shouldn't be that expensive. Just looked up at Wiki, a picture with wasabi selled at 380 yen each in Japan, which is about 3 dollar. Goods in Japan is relatively expensive compare to the other part of the world, so I expect to get real wasabi at this price level.
For you sushi lovers that want a quick fix. On occasion I do make my own sushi rolls but when I am too lazy I find a fake wasabi I like, mix it with some soy sauce to my liking and dip cucumber and imitation crab stick in it. I get nearly every bit the satisfaction from that as I do going the whole 9 yards. For me it's all about the nose burn and the cucumber. Shazzam!
I was actually experiencing the burning from eating wasabi peas when he was talking about that lol
Thats some fine Damascus there
Everybody should just buy regular horse radish instead of fake wasabi. Fake wasabi is probably over prized and might have some unhealthy components.
I once shopped for real wasabi. It is available in Los Angeles fish markets for a mere $90 per pound. It is tasty but if you want the real stuff at your local sushi spot, prepare to pay up, or bring your own.
hello i live in israel and id like to buy real wasabi how do i get it ?
That's an interesting topic. It's perhaps worth to mention that wasabi-like horseradish is quite different from wild white horseradish (at least the one that grows in Eastern Europe), I find our variety to be a lot more simmilar to actual wasabi than to the wasabi-like horseradish.
Wheres your kitchen ?!
it is all wasabi, just different kind of wasabi.
The music is terrible
But why not grow it at home? Grow a variety of wasabi plants at home, and waiting for them to go in bloom and give seeds so I can grow up more before I use the ones I already have.
