Fresh Real Wasabi - Six 43g tubes

After paying 10 times the price of other wasabi in order to have this shipped in dry ice expecting fresh ground wasabi what arrived were 6 tubes with this as the ingredient list: Grated Wasabi, Cellulose gum, Maltodextrin, Sorbitol, Soybean Oil, Water, Sugar, Salt, Artificial Flavors, Phosphoric Acid, Titanium Dioxide, Xanthan and guar gum, Potasium Sorbate, FD&C yellow 5, FD&C Green 3.I have not tasted it yet but they get only one star for deliberately misleading dishonest advertising saying this is 100% real Wasabi. In fact they must have gotten into trouble because the tubes I received no longer say 100% real and instead say Authentic.

I have the Sushezi Sushi Made Easy that I also bought on amazon. And love my California rolls, but are not complete without wasabi. what I have found with this product is the great wasabi taste with out the harsh burning from the fake versions. The problem I have with this is kind of inconsistent in the tube, so I use a toothpick to mix it up while squeezing the tube. You also get a really nice cooler with it.Update:I now when I get a new tube out, I cut it open and transfer the paste to a zip lock bag. So much easier to get to the wasabi that way.

This is the wasabi that you want for your sushi.I'm a sushi lover and recently started making my own sushi. Wasabi is critical for good sushi. I searched high and low for good wasabi until I found this. Unlike other wasabi wannabes, this stuff delivers.The packing is incredible, too. It is shipped cold with dry ice.The only downside? The stuff kind of shoots out of the tube in spurts. Be careful where you point it. ;-)

Even if its 100% wasabi root grated, real wasabi once grated only last 20 min for you to enjoy. So why bother ?

I'm feeling extremely foolish as I write this review. I ordered this wasabi to be forwarded overseas without realizing that if it is "fresh," that means it is shipped refrigerated (with dry ice in a Styrofoam container within a box). Of course my shipment was no longer cold by the time I received it in Oman - what a waste of good wasabi and a lot of money! Although I can't rate the taste, I assume it would have been wonderful. -sigh! - So, I'm rating this item 4 stars because the description does not make the cold shipment clear for us dummies.

I like sushi, and decided I must find out what real wasabi tastes like. It is both more aromatic and less harsh than the usual green colored horseradish served at most restaurants. Fresh wasabi must be kept refrigerated (or frozen). It was carefully shipped in a Styrofoam package with freezer packs inside

According to informed sources real pure wasabi is very hard to find and very expensive. According Cooks Illustrated Dec. 2009 this is the only pure, authentic wasabi they could find. Most "wasabi" products are light green colored ordinary horseradish or horseradish with a minute amount of wasabi. (I have no connection with this company).
