Pantry Essentials: S&B Sushi Wasabi

Unfortunately in Australia we have been stuck with the fluorescent green horseradish which is essentially the equivalent of paint striper to vodka.

I've only every had real wasabi once, and that was in Tokyo five years ago.

Last year while exploring the shelves of City Super in Hong Kong I discovered the S&B premium wasabi. It tastes a thousand times better than the paint striper, although I suspect that it’s made from horseradish too.

Now you can imagine me drooling like Homer Simpson when I found the same product at the Japanese supermarket this week. Although this ones not for novices. The packaging is written in Japanese!
