Sushi is one of the most popular Japanese food in the world and its essential condiment is wasabi. However did you know that most of the wasabi used in sushi is in fact horseradish? It is quite different from the real wasabi which we call “Hon-Wasabi”.
 
Hon-Wasabi is known as the most difficult plant to grow. It needs 13-18℃ of fresh and clean spring water and just the right amount of sunlight. It also takes 1.3 years until it can be harvested. Freshness is the crucial factor of Hon-Wasabi therefore it is impossible to export them to overseas without compromising its taste hence horseradish is used as a substitute. These unique characteristics make Hon-Wasabi very rare and expensive thus not many people have tasted it even in Japan.
