In response to yesterday’s post about Wasabi – let’s try 4 different types of it

1. If you like the restaurant style you have to try wasabits. I switched to that a while ago and as you said, it is convenient and better than powders I have had before. Has a texture as well that is better.

   As always love your stuff!

2. I have never liked the taste of wasabi. 🤢

3. This was awesome – thanks for sharing!

4. #Fuck Tik Tok

5. “It’s actually burning my eyes”

   I had flashbacks to my first time mixing large amounts at work, it was like getting maced. The best part about moving up the hierarchy was no longer mixing wasabi day to day.

6. The channel is called photogami. He has a vignette style video series called ‘Roll For Sushi’ where he rolls D&D dice for ingredients then puts the sushi together according to the dice rolls. He’s rolled (rolled.. is that sushi pun?) some surprisingly good combos. It’s pretty fun!

7. I have great memories of the tube wasabi: I occasionally make sushi for friends, and I usually have the tube wasabi lying around. Universally, everybody expects the tube to be much less potent and closer in profile to the restaurant wasabi. So they load up their first bite.

   The reactions to the 10/10 sinus burn never gets old. It really is a different beast when you compare it to the restaurant style.

8. I always used the powder wasabi until I went to work in the Netherlands. Now I actually prefer to use the Kisami Wasabi (personal preference). But I prefer to add something to cut the salt.

   The powder wasabi is still very nice to make decorations. You can make leafs, flowers. It is an advantage that the others do not have. And it is the most used of all.

   Also, with powder wasabi you can easily make sauces. Some people like Wasabi Mayo, for example.

   Personally I do not like the tube, because I had a bad experience. And as a sushiman I never even touched that product.

9. You are awesome!

10. I love your roll for sushi series, keep the good content coming!

11. I have been to a wasabi restaurant in Japan once. We had a bento kind of lunch with 10-15 different dishes. Everything was made with real wasabi they grew at the farm near the restaurant. I was sceptical at first because I only knew the restaurant stuff. But it was so good and flavorful. The dishes tasted complex and very differently. It was something I never tasted before. Now I wonder if there are different kinds of the wasabi plant.
