"I recently served Pickled Wasabi Greens and Pickled Wasabi Petioles, both being Traditional Style, on an antipasto platter ...after encouraging my guests to try the Wasabi, they were pleasantly surprised, and impressed! They expected the Wasabi to be hot, instead they were delighted by the mild tasty pickle with a difference, which became the talking point of the platter.
Later I served a selection of my home made ice-creams, to finish the dinner. The outstanding favourite was the Wasabi and Lime. I used around two teaspoons of Wasabi Leaf Powder, along with the finely grated rind of a lime in that particular batch. I will definitely be making wasabi ice-cream again!"

"As a home chef who has exclusively used pure wasabi in the kitchen for more than ten years, I have been impressed by the outstanding quality of MWC rhizomes. Their fresh wasabi is surprisingly powerful, yet sweet and complex. It is the best wasabi I have had in recent years, and one that truly complements and enhances dishes such as sashimi and grilled wagyu."
