Description:
- Also known as Nama Wasabi, this is one of very great condiments in Japanese cuisine but hardly found in Singapore.
- Fresh wasabi in Japan is mostly provided to restaurants and never seen in supermarkets.
- It contains "Allyl isothiocyanate" which makes that typical spicy taste; If you bite it, it doesn't taste spicy. But more you grate, the spicier it gets. This is because when grated, cells are destroyed where "myrosinase", the type of enzyme is created "glucosinolate" is dissolved and "allyl isothiocyanate" is created.,
