Wasabi root
Real fresh wasabi, to be grated to order for a clean, vegetal heat.
Wasabi root, or rhizome, is the fresh form of this emblematic condiment of Japanese cuisine. Finely grated just before serving, it reveals a clean but fleeting heat, with vegetal, slightly sweet notes, far more nuanced than those of substitute pastes. Its aroma fades quickly: it is always prepared to order.
