True wasabi is a hard to find outside Japan. Most "wasabi", even most sold in Japan, is actually grated horseradish that has been flavored and dyed. Real wasabi is made by grating the wasabi root, which resembles a green-tinged ginger root. It’s not overwhelmingly spicy but instead has a quick flush of heat followed by a lingering nuanced aroma of spiciness with a herbaceous flavor and subtle natural sweetness.

By preserving genuine raw shredded wasabi in rice vinegar and spices, Tokyo Food is able to provide this real wasabi paste that naturally maintains its delicate flavors.

Suggested uses: Combine with soy sauce and use as a dipping sauce for sushi, sashimi or steak, or with avocado. Add a dollop to ceviche or oysters, on a hamburger, in salad dressings or in soups including noodle soups. Can also be mixed with mayonnaise to make a wasabi aioli dip for french fries.
