Aniket Mondal Sharks may look smooth, but upon close inspection, their skin is as rough as sandpaper due to tiny pointed scales. So yes, that traditional grater, called orishigane, is sharkskin.

[@mstrainjr]

The same is true of the fish you get at restaurants. Sometimes, you think you're eating salmon or tuna, but it's actually a substitute because of high demand.

[@Makendu]

M. Strain Jr. isn't that false advertising ?

[@seanpipatkhajonchai4754]

It should be easy to tell wouldn't it though? Both of those fish have such a distinct flavor.

[@providence5384]

Sean Pipatkhajonchai that's why added flavor is used to mask the taste.

[@seanpipatkhajonchai4754]

Providence a decent sushi place wouldnt hide that shit. Or simplest thing you would have to do is just look at the damn fish if its served in a fillet. Used both tuna and Salmon many times before and both have a unique texture flavor and smell. If they resturaunt is masking the fishes flavor in the first place wtf are you doing there

[@silentofthewind]

For all of those in the US, you may have had real wasabi IN the US as it can grow in certain parts of the northwest coast, predominantly in Oregon :) Some states do get shipments from there. That's where I experienced my first real wasabi, and I've never had the powdered version again. The difference is tremendous and I've never been able to overcome it!

[@FRISHR]

“Is wasabi an instrument?” “No patrick, it’s just horseradish.” *raises hand* “Horseradish is not an instrument either.”

I wish I had a job that I could say: I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life. I'm good at lots of things, and people pay me to do them, but I haven't had a job yet where I'd want to do it for the rest of my life.

Been 4 years How are you

[@VinhL861]

The real wasabi must taste good ^_^

[@lechondre]

Potato Doggo It's spicier, no doubt, but if you put it on oily or fish with liquid, it will counteract the heat.

[@Phillyprnc]

It is not spicier than the "fake" stuff. It is more mild and complex and can easily be eaten (tasted) by itself. It is quite expensive to buy at a grocery store. I have bought it on days when the store has a fresh tuna they cut up and sell to everyone. They us a board with shark skin one it to grate it in restaurants. I have not bought one of these.. yet.

[@dnguyen253]

Your Favorite Dildo like dissolves like. Capsicum -the spicy part- is hydrophobic. Oil is also hydrophobic. Both attracts each other so when you eat it washes away faster. It's the reason people drink milk after eating really spicy things since milk has fat in it.

[@Drivenlemon]

bill nye over here

[@samuelwong6448]

where's my drink? It's actually less spicy and has almost a sweet aftertaste, I rarely buy fake wasabi because my dad owns a Chinese restaurant but then he would order stuff from a Japanese supplier ( true world foods ) and bring all the stuff home such as uni, tuna, sea bream, wasabi etc

[@lookmethecat]

You have a one-up on me. I knew that the wasabi that I had when I went out to eat was horseradish, but I didn't know that it was an imitation of real wasabi, I though it had a different name for how it was served/made or it was just a different type of horseradish plant.

[@ivanhernandez8702]

Why do the videos always end when its barely getting interesting.

[@lillieblue]

Because they understand people have short attention spans and won't watch long videos no matter how interesting. Well not a large amount of people, so if you want them to learn something cool, condense it into under 5 mins.

WildWildPRODUCTIONS The last u uploaded was 1 year ago... And u said that ur more interresting?!

[@StudioRevoct]

If you've ever had Natto, they pack it with Hot Mustard, and after tasting it I felt it was similar to store bought Wasabi. Doing more digging, the fake Wasabi most places use is made with Hot Mustard, which explains the similarity. Real Wasabi is actually a lot milder, and almost has a green tea like aftertaste.

[@ayelet2679]

I ate real wasabi when I travled to Japan and I've been in this place, I ate this really good falafel like food there and it wasnt as spicy as I thought it would be! It was like a mixture of flavors and overall just really good.

I thought I hated Wasabi my whole life until I tried the real stuff at a restaurant one day. I was confused, wondering why it wasn’t tasting how it normally does until I saw this video.

[@amo9363]

You guys will be surprised how real wasabi taste! It’s not too spicy and gives you complex flavor. They also have Namida Maki which is teardrop sushi in English. That sushi is only wasabi, sushi rice, and seaweed and I love them.

[@RobinToTheBatCave]

[@FelixMomentvm]

TheNotSoAvid well if you see this is a really spoiled treated plant, I mean: spring water at specific temperature

[@promontorium]

It naturally grows next to rivers in forests. So it gets those things it needs, fresh cold water and a bit of sunlight let in through the trees.

[@deathbyseatoast8854]

i mean. im assuming it would be capable of doing all these things by its self, as it hasnt become extinct in places where it usually lives.

[@RikkuTakanashi]

They reproduce via rhizome; the thing we eat, lmao. A lot of plants reproduce that way, like a lot of mushrooms. Basically, instead of producing seeds and dying off completely, plants that reproduce via rhizome, basically grow a new plant from a root so that even if the original plant dies, there's a whole new one. It's actually almost like cloning.

Makes sense. First and last time I ever tried "Wassabi" was at a sushi spot and I almost threw up at how gross it tasted, but now that I know it was most likey fake wassabi I'm suddenly interested in tasting real wassabi. Especially with some sushi! 🔥

[@kotoriimbued2340]

I can affirm this, working in a sushi restaurant in Canada, we use fake wasabi. I tasted real wasabi and it is not that different if you don't eat a lot of wasabi, but really, it is way better IMO, it complements a dish (sushi or soba) so well.

wasabi is a type of horseradish, they are the same family oof plant. Real horseradish has a temporary heat that hitsb the nasal passage followed by a mild sweetness too.

[@oqlapsldim]

not all horseradish is wasabi however

[@bakapoco]

I was able to attend a wasabi workshop held by the CEO of a wasabi company two years ago, and they let us grate and taste the wasabi plant. it was a pretty amazing experience, watching and tasting the process of freshly-grated wasabi turn from mildly sweet to the familiar pungently spicy kick. Recommend all sushi lovers to try real wasabi if given the chance.

A random Pokéfan I see how it’s less “authentic” but it doesn’t mean it’s worse. Considering the difficulty and price it would already be batter than the dyed horse radish. Having a GMO farm doesn’t mean that the “organic” stuff will be discontinued either.
