A small stainless steel wasabi grater is a kitchen tool used to grate fresh wasabi root into a fine paste. Wasabi is a popular condiment in Japanese cuisine that is often used to accompany sushi, sashimi, and other seafood dishes. While wasabi paste can be found in tubes or jars in many supermarkets, fresh wasabi root is highly prized for its superior flavour and texture. The wasabi plant is native to Japan and only grows under very specific conditions. They tend to grow in rich soil and need to be slightly submerged in running water, this is why the mountains of Japan are so ideal for wild wasabi to grow. Recreating these conditions makes wasabi a pretty expensive plant to produce. As well as growing and sourcing Japanese ingredients, we have also developed a range of award-winning condiments, drinks and seasonings for making Japanese dishes at home.

It is best to keep the rhizome in the front section of the fridge so as not to freeze it, or it will become soft. Most so-called "wasabi" pastes and powders are actually made with the cheaper "seiyo wasabi", also known as "wasabi daikon" or regular horseradish in English. It's then mixed with green food colouring and a few other ingredients so that it looks like real wasabi. It is interesting to note that the cheaper the wasabi is, the spicier it tastes. Real wasabi is part of the horseradish family, but it is not the same as horseradish itself. Horseradish is a lot spicier and easier to grow. It's most likely that the wasabi you have eaten is made with horseradish as it's more common, even within Japan. Where can I buy wasabi root? For many centuries, traditional Japanese sushi chefs have sought out sharks.

Wasabi will taste different depending on whether you grate it faster or slower. If you grate it slower, it is more creamy and still hot. Wasabi gets much hotter when it's grated smaller as more and more of its surface area is becoming exposed to the air around it. Wasabi gets hotter and when it's exposed to air, so as it gets grated, the wasabi will get more and more hot in flavour.
