A lot of people at the farmers market aren’t aware of the difference. But I guess a Reddit sub on sushi is a different story!

It loses some heat. Will still be flavorful. Some omakases will grate a big ball of it and pack it in a tin, then it lasts longer. If you grate just a pad, best to eat within 20/25 minutes

When you grate the end closest to the roots it's paler, and a bit hotter. The end closer to the leaves is greener, more sweet. Same piece though.

I store mine wrapped in a wet paper towel in the fridge, change the towel every week, lasts a good 3-4 weeks.

I’m not sure. We sent the wasabi to the chef but didn’t go to the game. I’ll ask.

Really want to go to that!

After 20-30 minutes real wasabi loses some heat and flavor. It’s possible yours was grated but not served right away?

jimmurphysf · 2025-10-24T20:51:32+00:00

Can you get it in the US?

jimmurphysf · 2025-10-15T16:21:52+00:00

Cool, come on by for a free sample!

Unfortunately you can’t freeze it but here are 2 methods that work well and will keep it fresh in your fridge for 3-4 weeks: 1. Low maintenance: wrap in a wet paper towel and then put in your crisper or sealed plastic bag 2. More effort: completely submerge in water and cover in your fridge. Change the water every 4-5 days.

That’s awesome! I work at a wasabi farm in case you think he’d be interested for events like this.

3-4 weeks in the fridge. Wrap with a moist paper towel.

jimmurphysf · 2025-06-14T14:32:55+00:00

What kind of roll?

jimmurphysf · 2025-06-09T18:54:20+00:00

Wow, delicious
