- nerfhammer 8y agoyou can get supposedly freeze dried real wasabi and it's not too expensive: https://www.amazon.com/Sushi-Sonic-Powdered-Wasabi-1-5-Ounce/dp/B001EPQOM8?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Sushi-Sonic-Powdered-Wasabi-1-5-Ounce... no idea if this is some kind of trickery or ruined this way
- bpicolo 8y agoSuspect you lose a lot of the relevant flavor components this way. It's pretty delicate even from the fresh plant - sorta the whole point is you have to grind it fresh and use it within a short span (~an hour)
- ken 8y agoPer pound? That seems cheap. I've seen it at Uwajimaya, late on a Sunday night, for US$99.99/lb. The man stocking it told me, "Get some now, while you can! The restaurants will buy it all up and it'll be gone by morning."
- Dowwie 8y agoYep that's the stuff I saw. This was maybe 8 ounces.
