About our wasabi products
Sick of imitation Japanese horseradish products? Want to enjoy the complex flavour of some real wasabi? If you're craving the unique taste of freshly grown wasabi rhizomes, then you're in luck.
At The Wasabi Company, we stock high quality, authentic Japanese, real wasabi-based ingredients. This includes everything from real British wasabi and wasabi plants grown at our Dorset and Hampshire farms - and essential wasabi graters - to wasabi powder, powders, pastes and oils that can be mixed into any recipe. Our wasabi mayo and wasabi mustard is a great alternative to soy sauce when it comes to raw fish sashimi and dozens of other recipes, or as an interesting addition to any type of dish. Explore our wasabi selection and get cooking!
How to tell if it is real wasabi
Real wasabi products are made from the grated stem, or rhizome, of the Wasabia japonica plant, and as such, the ingredients list will include only fresh wasabi or pure wasabi powder. Imitation wasabi, on the other hand, is usually a mixture of horseradish, mustard, starch, and green food colouring, the ingredients list will often omit Wasabia japonica entirely or include it in tiny percentages.
Real wasabi also has a complex, fresh, and earthy aroma with a hint of sweetness, and a clean, fresh heat that quickly fades and doesn't linger. Imitation wasabi often smells sharp, harsh, and overly pungent, and tends to have a one-note, overpowering heat that lingers - mainly from horseradish and mustard.
