2. What is the wasabi?

- The wasabi is an excellent supporting role of the meals! -

The wasabi is an excellent supporting role of the Japanese dish. I am very delicious when I eat with sushi, a side, a steak. It is a plant resembling Japanese radishes in a crucifer. Because there is little amount of production, it is very valuable, and there is value, and it is in form called the spice which is high-quality in Japan. - - that the production of wasabi is difficult Why is there little amount of production? It is one reason that there are many limitation conditions to grow wasabi. At first I am very poor at natural disaster. And it is necessary to do appropriate temperature management of the water to cultivate a wasabi. If temperature rises too high, the wasabi rots immediately. To that end, you must prepare the wasabi field into the place with a large quantity of source of a river. The disasters such as typhoons are hard to happen, and it is very difficult to find a place with a large quantity of source of a river, and there are few places that were correct in the condition. And you must reclaim the mountain to make a wasabi field. There is the person whom the point of hands and feet did not move by the work. There is the problem of the difficulty of the cultivation, too. People of a farming family making wasabi decrease year by year, and the person doing a farmhouse newly does not readily appear.

I used the thing that the most were said to be horseradish and did the plant which resembled the wasabi which I specialized "a sharp taste" in with an ingredient. This wasabi has charms such as "sweetness", "the fragrance" other than "a sharp taste". An ingredient called ‘Isothiocyanate’ becomes based on these sharp tastes. - A taste of the wasabi intellect - A flavor is rich and is wasabi with a sharp taste, but there cannot be the thing that I never disturb other foods. The sweetness included in the sharp taste brings on the sense of quality that nobody knows and individualizes the good food. Wasabi is the reason that is an ultimate supporting role.
