With Wasabi, or Witihout?  

oh my gosh that stuff is so strong i have never eaten it but i smell it every time i get sushi and just the smell about knocks me out. my dad eats it sometimes on his sushi when we get it and he eats that pink stuff i forget what its called. i really like to eat sushi its one of my favorites but i do not think i would like wasabi its just way to strong.

I have not known that eating Wasabi will give you a great sensation feeling at the back of your head. I like it if its like that. I think I would try to eat sushi with wasabi to taste the real feeling of heat. And is it true there will be no residue of burning immediately after we swallow the food? I have to taste it since I have never eaten a wasabi before.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi syfarisk...

Japanese food leaves me a less bloated feeling even if I've taken more than my usual moderation in quantity. Wasabi is a must for me when I take sushi, sashimi, maki & temaki. Combined in some shoyu or ponzu, it makes for an enjoyable meal. There are a number of health benefits that are attributed to Japanese cuisine. Wasabi for one is said to be a powerful antioxidant and it helps stimulate digestion and detoxifies the liver. It is said to also help fight cancer of the prostate. Wasabi is a plant and it is rare and expensive. Real wasabi comes powdered in a can and is mixed with water. Since it deceptively comes in a jar or tube that says Wasabi, you need to read the actual ingredients to know for sure.

I'm a huge fan of spicy things, so I prefer my sushi with just a little bit of wasabi rubbed in between the rice and the fish. I will still eat it if I don't have any wasabi, but thankfully sushi were I am pretty much always comes with a little bit of wasabi on the side so that you can use as much or as little as you like.

I love wasabi sauce! I do eat it with my sushi. I also love to dip my pickled ginger in it! It is so good. Great for head colds as well. I want to learn how to create it! Does anyone know?

Definitely WITH wasabi and extra at that. I (and I've heard this is the wrong way to do it)love to put the wasabi in the soy sauce. You can then get the full flavor covering the sushi instead of a little wasabi on it.

I just love wasabi. I mix wasabi with soy sauce in sushi but I also use it alone (specially with nagiri. I would explain it as a nose-cleaning spiceIt´s there where I get the flavour: in the palate near the nose. Nagiri and sushi with wasabi and lots of ginger

well I love sushi but only the california roles. Not into raw fish. I would not eat sushimi. As far as wasabi. Not for me. I have tried it and dont like the taste. But never did like horeradish. So Ill take my sushi cooked fish and all and just eat it plain lol

I have eaten Wasabi with Sashimi and Sushi in Japan and like it. Here in UK with horseradish sauces a hot one and a mild one. The hot one is, perhaps a little hotter than Wasabi and the mild one is much milder. I think you might like to try making cheese-on-toast (Welsh rarebit) with horse radish sauce, it really brings out the flavour of the cheese. I also add it when making mashed potatoes

all the best urban
