Wasabi Powder 90ml NO FILLERS

I have a restricted diet so I wanted to get wasabi that doesn't have extra ingredients and preservatives and this fits the bill! It says 100% wasabi and it is hot and spicy and tastes great with sushi. Definitely recommended.

I am so glad to have discovered this powder. Those little tubes just don't last very long in my household. This wasabi is tasty and hot. I discovered that one must use bubbly water when making wasabi from powder. perhaps this is common knowledge, but it was new for me. I will definitely be buying this again!

Zowie! I rarely comment on something unless it is really bad or really good. This product is 10 stars on a scale of 1-5! But get ready to have your sinuses seared by that classic wasabi nose burn if you overdo it! Prior to buying this I had purchased a different product in a tube, that was meh, but this stuff is the real deal. After constituting some and waiting a half hour I mixed a bit of it into some soy sauce to put over my broiled and mostly cooked-through salmon (a little rare in the middle). Made the salmon worth eating!Edit Addition: mixed some and it is still as potent as the day I bought it!

I wish I had a nearby market where I could reliably find fresh wasabi (not horseradish) or even a solid, shelf-stable paste, but I don't. This isn't a perfect replacement, but it's leagues better than the packets of horseradish that generally come with takeout, lasts in powder form between uses, and is easy to prepare.Do ensure that you follow the instructions closely...there's a sweet spot of flavor that is very real. 15 minutes after you mix up a batch is when the flavor is strongest, and it peaks for about 15 minutes. Too long before or after that, and it's decidedly not "awesome-sauce" as kids used to say.

Wow. Was I wrong.My sincerest apologies to the producer of this fine Wasabi. My nose is STILL running. It REALLY packs a punch.I don’t get it. Neither my wife nor I noticed ANY appreciable heat the first two times we used it.It sat on the back of our countertop behind the coffee maker for a few months and I said to myself “I paid for it, I’m going to use it.”Prepared as before, just enough water to make a firm, not runny, paste, let it sit for maybe fifteen minutes, put a YUGE (about half teaspoonful) glob (or dollop… maybe a chunk, even) on a piece of Ebi Nigiri Sushi and chomped down on it.One second, two seconds, YOW! HEat, Tears, SNOT, I can’t breathe, when did SWAT do a home invasion!Several select-a-size paper towels and minutes later, I had a little less than a glob (maybe a drib, or drab), MUCH better.But really, TWICE we used it, and TWICE, nothing.THis is now about 6 months later and we’ve gone through almost all of it.No, it’s NOT “the best” Wasabi we’ve ever had, but it’s respectable, maybe even worth buying again, and I CAN recommend it for someone looking for a decently-priced and effective product.Again, my humblest apologies to the grower, the family, and their ancestors.Many months ago:There are disappointments in life, some on the scale of, oh, say, the girl of your dreams you‘re JUST about to ask to marry you telling you she‘s found the girl of HER dreams.There‘s tulip bulbs that, when they burst out of the soil in Spring turn out to be - anything but tulips.Disappointments, major, minor, sometimes a relief in a way.This was minor, but I gotta warn you, don‘t waste your time or money.My wife and I buy local grocer‘s sushi maybe 2-3 times a month. Spring rolls, California roll for her, sushi plate for me (tuna, salmon my favorites) for dinner.I‘ve been buying powdered wasabi for decades (1980‘s sometime) when I live in San Diego and learned how to make Nori sushi (rolls) and it became a mainstay of my diet as I was in Dojo maybe 10-12 hours a week studying Shotokan karate, and would frequent sushi bars with Sensei and friends after class, a nice tall glass of Sapporo to wash it down.Thinking there‘s likely going to be better Wasabi I went ahead and bought a few tins through Amazon - it‘s a little far to the Asian market where I live now and I‘m getting more traffic averse as I get older - and so far it‘s been pretty good quality stuff, at least as good as the stuff from the grocer‘s where we get the sushi and rolls.But this.First impression after wetting and setting a few minutes is this: the aroma reminds me of that soil bacteria smell you catch on a hot day as a light rain wets the asphalt and median strips around a mall parking lot. Musty, moldy, muddy, not entirely off-putting but NOT eye-watering or hot/spicy at all.The „EXTRA HOT“ wording on the label is misleading.I swear I could snort a line of this powder and not get a sneeze out of it.When prepped? It‘s mild, with barely ANY discernible heat at all.GOOD wasabi you catch a small smear with your fingertip, put it on your tongue and you SHOULD feel the heat in the roof of your mouth and your sinuses and get your eyes watering.Nah.Nothing at ALL like that.Gonna try and return this. It‘s worthless. Has a 2023 expiration date, too. I just wanted to warn you.
