Premium Sushi Sonic Wasabi Powder - 1.5 Fl Oz (44ml) - Authentic Japanese Horseradish for Sushi, Sashimi & Asian Cuisine - Spicy Condiment for Home Cooking & Restaurant Use

The reviews for this wasabi are interesting and somewhat inaccurate. To my taste, this is indeed real wasabi. My guess is that people are not allowing time for it to reconstitute with water. Add a little water, let it sit for a while, and THEN taste test it. When I first added water it tasted strange and spinachy to me and not hot at all - what I at first thought was a complete disappointment. Then I read the 5 star reviews and went back to the mix I left in a bowl in the sink. What I found after about 30 minutes was a strong, HOT, flavorful paste! I'll take this over the fake stuff any day.
