Why Real Wasabi Is So Expensive | So Expensive
The green paste you've been eating with your sushi isn't really wasabi. If you check the ingredients on the packet, you might see a mixture of sweetener, horseradish and perhaps a small percentage of the real thing. Real wasabi is hard to come across and it can cost $250 per kilo. So what actually is wasabi, and why is it so expensive?

I've never really enjoyed Wasabi, because it usually tastes far too similar to horseradish, although I still use a bit whenever I eat sushi. However, I distinctly remember one time I got sushi, I fell in love with the Wasabi. I think the person who described it as "tasting like Wasabi, but without the horseradish flavor" was absolutely right. It had some spice, but was also slightly sweet. I've never looked into the difference between "common" and fresh Wasabi, but I knew that most had to have horseradish, which has always been to harsh for me to enjoy anything with it. I'm glad this popped on my recommended.
I still love the burn of horseradish Wasabi but I'm intrigued by this real Wasabi!
Yeah, if you look at the ingredient list on a tube of wasabi paste or can of powder, the first ingredient is horseradish and the second is usually mustard of some type. If they have any wasabi in them at all, it’s a veeeeeery tiny amount. I don’t mind the fake stuff in small amounts, but I love real wasabi because I find the flavor and spice balance much more pleasant.
I appreciate that the wasabi farmer isn’t snobbish about the fake stuff.
Because real & fake wasabi serve in different situation. The farmer know their product is only viable on dine in high end restaurant
bc the farmer's also selling this to be made into fake wasabi. Either way he's makin money
The "fake" wasabi shouldn't be called fake anyway. Its not fake, its different. Its like calling New York style Pizza fake because Neapolitan Pizza is the real deal.
Because he well aware not everybody can afford a real one. He tolerate the existence of the fake.
@@sonicruled no its fake. Most "fake" wasabi has NO wasabi powder. We should be calling it Green Horseradish Powder.

@@sqirrelboylikesfuton was it broken down right in front of you
Real wasabi also rots very quickly, unfortunately. I live in Shizuoka Japan, where some of the best wasabi can be had. I can buy it in my supermarket. However, it is mush in just a few days in the fridge. This is one of the big reasons it is so expensive -- it doesn't travel. Those big stems they were harvesting were really lovely and would fetch about $15 each around here. But the big thing is that you might eat about 2 inches off the end of it, and be done. It just doesn't store. I've tried various ways of freezing it, and it doesn't work (it gets super bitter). You can often buy smaller stems for about $5 each and sometimes I buy them, if I'm doing sashimi, but the wasabi ends up costing me more than the fish! Well, that's another thing about living by the sea in Japan -- really cheap fish. So normally I eat it in the izakaya (sort of like a pub). I often just eat it by itself with beer. People think I'm mad, but it's *really* delicious!
Thank you for sharing your lovely perspective. From my experience living 6 months in Tokyo, I am sure that the Japanese will find a way to bring fresh wasabi to the world.
Maybe real wasabi can be used in special occasions At most times
Your life seems really interesting.
What's really delicious?
D: wasabi with beer
I went to Japan a few years back and was able to go to a wasabi farm, and let me tell you there is certainly a difference when comparing the real vs the semi-fake one (in my opinion). What’s cool thought is that they even had wasabi ice cream there!

I tried once in Japan, didnt know how expensive it was. The real one tastes absolutely different from the paste one, it is rather mild and the smell lingers a little bit longer. So basically you won't go for water after having it.

Farms with running water are so beautiful. Rice paddies too. They're like scenes out of a fairy tale. I remember one where they actually have these small live fish that live in the shallow water and eat the tiny little invader bugs and their larvae before they damage the crop and apparently the fish droppings are rich in some obscure acid that is needed for the plant to thrive. Total natural ecology in this little farm. Wish I could remember what plant it was that were grown, does my description remind anybody of what it might be?
It's a certain type of grow setup. It's a complete mini-eco system. It's similar to hydroponic grows, but instead of liquid nutrients, the fish waste and such is where the get the nutrients. I've only ever had 1 friend that I know talk about this with me/know about this too. It's very underrated, however I do think you'd be more apt to find it being used in a Bud Grow-Op.
Phosphorus yea. Nature bro.
The plant and fish put together system is know as aquaponics. Many species of plants can be used in this system for mutual benefits with many types of fish. Not exactly sure what plant needing a certain acid might be, but the nitrogen and other natural fertilizers fish give off is very effective.

They probably sell it all to high class japanese restaurants. I think it may be quite lucrative, once you actually manage to get the farm running. There are - at best - very few things harder to produce than wasabi.

Wasabi leaves are also edible. One of my favorite when I was a kid.
Fresh Wasabi tastes incredible. The last guy who tasted it said it right, it's a completely different flavor and is very very pleasant. There's a sweetness to it that you wouldn't expect and it's nowhere near as sharp as the fake stuff.
“It tastes like wasabi” Ah yes, my mom is a mother Edit: Ah yes, my mom is a dude

Great to see a Opinel knife being used, make the video even more special.
“The real one tastes like wasabi.” Dying is bad for your health.
plot twist: after you die you don't have a health anymore
not funny, didnt laugh
*Plants:* Develop capsaicin to prevent animals from eating it *Humans:* It’s free real estate.
Even so there are bipeds that still eat it.Nice analysis man
Wasabi does not derive it's spiciness from Capsaicin.
More like surprised Pikachu face
I really wonder,who decided that this plant should be crush and tasted ,like how would they know they need to crash it and why would they even do it ,as it doesn't taste the same when it is eaten without being crash. It's like one person long long time ago be like: "hmmmmm, what's this? I shall grate it and taste it!"
@@brandonchan4537 prolly they taste it first and thought that mushing them would be nice.
The real wasabi tastes sweet, it’s more mild than horseradish but slightly stronger than mustard. I had it a few times when sightseeing in Hokkaido, Japan.
"...but slightly stronger than mustard.." ur countrys mustard must be very mild/weak or the wasabi i got served, would more sort it like that horseradish>mustard>actual wasabi
the fact that real wasabi tastes like wasabi is actually mind blowing
Great! Now I want sushi! 🍣
Anyone else think the background music is pretty good?!?
Papa Tom background music is your new profession. Do it.
Papa Tom no
No
It’s not overwhelming like real wasabi.😉
Thank you! Was gonna say this background music is awesome -- reminds me of something Toonami would drop in its early days, or some type of 90s electronic music.
This whole time I thought "wasabi" was just the Japanese word for horseradish.
Bruh ... feels bad man
Well, they ARE in the same family and fufill a similar culinary niche...
