OTTOGI Wasabi Paste

The use of Wasabi dates back to as late as the 8th Century AD and shares similar characteristics that are popularly used as a pungent condiment for sushi and other foods. Stimulating the nose, rather than the tongue, Wasabi’s spiciness is well-known around the world for adding complexity and a somewhat intriguing pungency.
