In the kitchen
Wasabi is primarily used as a condiment, especially with sushi and sashimi. However, it's important to note that the wasabi served in many restaurants is often a mixture of horseradish, mustard, and food coloring, rather than true wasabi. True wasabi has a fresh, pungent flavor that is quite different from the common substitutes. Always check for authenticity if you're looking for the real experience!
