Sharp treasure for sushi lovers: How to distinguish real from fake wasabi

A look behind the green facade: unlike the widely used imitations, real wasabi captivates with its lumpiness. Japanese horseradish or horseradish is grated in the traditional way for this purpose, which gives it a unique texture that imitations de facto cannot match. It is the real wasabi that makes sushi an unforgettable taste experience - a spicy adventure for the senses that perfectly highlights the pure flavours of the Japanese dish. Incidentally, sushi is not a traditional Japanese food, but a method of preparation that originated for the preservation of freshwater fish around the Mekong River.
