    You are truly the only one on youtube who gives the CORRECT picture of Japan; with its own nature and tradition in the front picture rather than all the modern cities.
    Great job

    There was an American who started a Wasabi farm by smuggling Wasabi roots out of Japan. Afterward, he found the ideal place in America to plant the Wasabi roots. The Japanese government wasn't happy about his new business venture.
    Look it up on the Internet to find Wasabi Roots.
    It's just like horseradish. In fact, when you go to a Supermarket, you will find that most of the Wasabi paste are 95% horseradish mixed with real Wasabi for taste.
    Real Wasabi paste100% is expensive.

    Hi Softy. I just wanted to add for others that the Wasabi that is served here in America, is not usually the real thing. That is because it is so difficult to grow, there is a limited supply, and it's in high demand. The putty we are usually served in America and elsewhere is Horseradish, Mustard and coloring.

    @BeTheDeathOfMe You should! I'm moving there too, but that is only for my further Bujutsu/Budo career (some things cannot be learned in Europe, they have to be studied in Japan). I'm an avid Bujutsu/Budo martial artist and a lover of Japanese nature and culture.

    Ahaha, I have done the same thing. Over 50 years ago, I was in Dallas, Tex (first time from Japan) killing time for next flight connection, I found an Oyster Bar in downtown. Since I love fresh oysters, I went in and ordered a dozen fresh half shells. Found a small jar marked as Horse Radish, so I put full spoonful (or more) on one of them because I believed American are coward with spices and this must be mild thing. WRONG! I almost hit the ceiling cus it exploded in my mouth!

    Hey Kurt! Yes, they sell the best California Rolls at Costco. By, the way, we are moving to Visalia. We sold our home here in Upland. Email will stay the same. We will be in Visaila on July 23.

    it's too bad that most people don't even realize that the green stuff they get with their sushi isn't even 'wasabi', it's run-of-the-mill horseradish, perhaps with some spicy mustard added and some green coloring.

    the best wasabi is actually grown in Australia. and is in fact sold to Japan and chili and a few more countries

    What!? I though the wasabi paste i buy at the supermarket is the real thing. Oh well, I will know how the real wasabi will taste when I have a chance to go to Nippon.

    fresh wasabi root is extremely expensive...Im a professional chef and purchased some roots through my produce company and paid 90$ a pound. If any of you want to get some and use it, wasabi root is spiciest when grated extremely fine, into a paste almost. It is worth getting an authentic shark skin grater for this just like the ones the japanese places use that use fresh wasabi root. The grater is typically around 50$ US. Enjoy.

    It's very difficult to get used to. When I first tried it, my eyes began to water profusely and my sinuses felt like someone shoved a match up into them. Luckily, the taste disappears very quickly!

    I live in oklahoma. So we don't have Costco.
    The best place to get sushi in oklahoma is at Tokyo 1 in OKC, or maybe Musashi, and Shogun is a good place. Those are resturants though. Targets sells great sushi. Walmart started to sell sushi, but I wouldn't even touch that shit in Walmart.
