A researcher behind a study of wasabi's effect on cognition says he knew the fiery condiment had health benefits, but "the dramatic change" in memory was a surprise.

      I’ve never met anyone that likes wasabi, so I’m skeptical about every claim in this headline

          Now the question is, has anyone here actually had wasabi?

          But here’s the rub: That tangy paste served up at nearly all sushi bars — even the ones in Japan — is almost certainly an impostor. Far more common than the real thing is a convincing fraud, usually made of ordinary white horseradish, dyed green.

          Japan doesn’t even produce enough to fulfill their own demand, I’m almost certain all Wasabi I’ve ever had was fake.

    I assume this applies only to real wasabi, and not the dyed Horseradish most places call wasabi.
