Description
 
The "Real" Wasabi root is quite rare and grown principally in Japan along mountain streams.  It is a marvelous spice that is in the horseradish family.  It is very rare to find "real wasabi", even in most sushi restaurants as it costs over $100/lb.  Traditional Japanese wasabi is grated with a sharkskin grater and served in the grated form.  Some "real wasabi" is also sold in powdered form, although considered to be of a lower quality by purists.

True Wasabi is not suitable for cooking as the complex flavors break down quickly when heated.  The good news is that the less expensive "Wasabi Powder" will take the heat quite well as it is typically made with horseradish, mustard & coloring.  If you enjoy the wasabi flavor, most of what is available is imitation Wasabi.  This imitation wasabi powder is ideal for use in preparing pan seared or BBQ seafood dishes.
