Fresh Wasabi from Japan
The Wagyu Beef Company is privileged to offer you authentic Fresh Wasabi from Japan. Today, we ship fresh Japanese Wasabi to restaurants, food distributors and individuals throughout North America.
It is believed that Wasabi was first used where it was found growing wild in Japan's valleys of Mt. Heike, Mt. Mizuo, and Mt. Bahun. The locals gathered wild Wasabi to use as a condiment with slices of raw yamame (a kind of trout), and raw venison. In addition to use as a flavoring the stems and leaves of Wasabi were pickled and eaten as a vegetable. Today wasabi is still one of the most important condiments in Japanese cuisine.
If you are fortunate enough to buy fresh wasabi you'll want to store it properly. Rinse rhizomes under fresh clear water and wrap in damp paper towels. Store in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator and replace with fresh damp paper toweling every couple of days. Rhizomes can be stored for at least 2 weeks.
Shark Skin Wasabi Grater is the traditional Japanese tool for grating fresh wasabi root. Grated wasabi is used as a condiment with sushi and sashimi. To use, rub the freshly cut end of a fresh wasabi root along the grater to produce a finely ground wasabi paste.
To obtain the best flavour, texture and heat of sawa Wasabi the rhizome must be ground into a fine paste. In Japan the traditional method for grating Wasabi uses a sharkskin grater or “oroshi". If a sharkskin grater is not available, ceramic or stainless steel surfaces can be used. The important component of the grater is the teeth or nubs. Smaller teeth produce a finer paste that increases the unique heat and flavour of fresh Wasabi. Grating Wasabi releases volatile compounds, called isothiocyanates that gradually dissipate with exposure to the air. These compounds are not found in Wasabi until after the cells of the plant are broken up and turned into a paste. The finer the paste the more chemical reactions take place. Using a Wasabi grater and keeping the rhizome perpendicular to the grating surface minimizes exposure to the air. In this way, the volatile compounds are allowed to develop with minimal dissipation. This combination of natural volatiles, consistency and texture distinguish fresh wasabi from the imitation products of powdered and paste horseradish, which have been mixed with Chinese mustard and green food coloring.
