What it is
This is a prepared paste made with 51% genuine wasabi, offering a potent and authentic flavor. It is designed to provide the characteristic sharp, pungent heat associated with fresh wasabi.

How people cook with it
This paste is a classic accompaniment to sushi and sashimi. It can also elevate other savory dishes.
- Dipping sushi
- Flavoring marinades
- Spicing up dressings
- Adding heat to dips
To use, simply squeeze a small amount directly onto your sushi or sashimi before dipping it into soy sauce. For marinades, whisk a bit into your liquid base to infuse it with wasabi's distinctive heat. It can also be blended into salad dressings or mayonnaise to create a zesty condiment. Start with a small quantity, as the flavor is quite intense, and adjust to your preference. It is best used as a finishing touch to preserve its fresh, pungent qualities.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike horseradish-based imitation wasabi, this product contains a significant percentage of real wasabi. This results in a more nuanced heat that dissipates more quickly and a cleaner, more complex flavor profile. The genuine wasabi provides a brighter, more aromatic spice.
Who it is for
Home cooks and sushi enthusiasts looking for authentic flavor will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining paste in the refrigerator. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the paste from drying out. It is best to consume the opened product within a few weeks for optimal flavor.
