Thread: Wasabi!

Well I can't say I like and dislike wasabi, but I normally forgo it because I love sushi, I love fish of any kind. Now I like soy sauce and I generally have that with sushi, but the reason why I don't eat wasabi is because I would like to taste and saver my sushi but wasabi tends to over power it and then I can't taste the sushi. But I do like ginger though, not to much, just a little bit is all I need.
Now for those who say it's to hot or its disgusting then I guess you have never tried it with a small slice of a habanera on sushi like my uncle Andre does. He says it's delicious, I think he is insane!!

I reckon if you're going to have wasabi on your sushi, have just a hint of it. In a lot of places they tend to just stuff a pea-sized amount right in the middle, and I don't think that's right! I've been to more high-end places, where they very lightly smear a little wasabi across the top of the rice, so if you lift up the fish (or whatever's on your rice) you might see a hint of green, but nothing much. I normally very openly express my dislike for wasabi, but I sometimes do like to have a wee bit on my sushi. Just for that extra kick, every once in a while.

Ginger's good, though. You're right.

I like wasabi mixed with my soy sauce. Not too much, though; I have a very sensitive tongue when it comes to spicy foods... There's a saying for that, kitten's tongue, right? Yeah, I only like a hint of that stuff... But it really, really puts a nice energizing kick into my sushi.

I haven't tried wasabi with anything else... What's that? Salted peanuts? Hmmm, maybe I'll try that...

Maybe I'll mix wasabi with my ranch dipping/dressing. Might add some life into my salads, carrot, and celery sticks...

Not exactly. It's "cat's tongue" and its when you have sensitivity to hot foods or drinks (temperature-wise)... it has nothing to do with spiciness.

I never had wasabi up until I went to the Japanese festival last August and I must say that I love it! Good and spicy! Plus, it clears your sinuses real good! You eat some of that and your nose is runnin' like a crack-head runs from the cops! LOL.

I'm wondering who here likes sushi? Do you prefer it with our without wasabi? Can someone tell me why my sushi came with a packet of soy sauce today? Who does that?

Oh, now I've got Cibo Matto's Sci-fi Wasabi stuck in my head! ...Back to lunch! *chomp, munch*

In my response i would say that, I do indeed love sushi and i wish to have wasabi inside it, although i never tasted it *wait only one time* at that time i had no though it was wasabi, since it looked similar as avacado *guacamole sauce*. Now after that time tasting wasabi it has been utterly tasteful and very fabolous to eat it. And the people that insert soy sauce into a sushi packet is that it makes the taste much more tastier then before. That's how i do it in my sushi that i eat most of the time, as well with curry rice. ^_^
So defintely i would prefer it in my sushi all the time, well mostly all the time since it is indeed spicy and very hard to eat it all in one whole swallow.

I love sushi, though it's hard to get here in little Ashtabula. I first had it when my brother worked at a Japanese restaurant in Virginia Beach. I really loved the octopus, but wasn't too fond of the fish eggs or eel. I really only like wasabi on peanuts, personally.
