Definition
Wasabi is a green, spicy paste made from the root of a Japanese plant, commonly served with sushi and sashimi.
Usage & Nuances
Wasabi is usually used as a condiment. In many places outside Japan, what is called 'wasabi' is often actually made from horseradish mixed with green coloring because real wasabi root is expensive. The taste is hot but fades quickly.
