Wasabi is a plant originating from Japan and used as a condiment in the Japanese cuisine, especially to enhance the taste of sushi. Its green paste texture and tangy aroma that stings the nose, like the Western yellow mustard, are quite known but very few people have actually eaten true, fresh and natural wasabi, which is only grown in a few regions of Japan. Wasabi is an essential condiment of Japanese cuisine, and a perennial rhizome plant originating from the archipelago where it grows naturally in medium-sized mountains environments, with a moderate climate, in a well irrigated soil protected by shade.
