What is wasabi sauce?


Wasabi Sauce is an exotic sauce made from the wasabi plant, grown mainly in the mountain valley regions of Japan. Wasabi is also called Japanese horseradish. It has a sharp and earthy taste, which is known to ‘hit the nose rather than the tongue’. That is, when you taste a drop of it, the flavour rises to the nose with a slight tingle or stinging sensation.
Wasabi sauce is available in powder or paste form – generally green in colour. Since wasabi grows only in some locations, the sauce is quite expensive.
