Wasabia Japonica, more commonly known simply as wasabi, originated in Japan and has been widely used in authentic Japanese cookery since the 10th century. Unlike the often intense and overpowering pastes and condiments, fresh wasabi is subtle and aromatic, with a gentle note of spice and a predominantly herbal flavour. Notoriously challenging to cultivate, the wasabi plant thrives in Japan’s mountain regions, and our wasabi is sourced directly from there. We serve our wasabi fresh at the table using a sharkskin grater to ensure maximum flavour.
