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.
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 like wasabi.
I think the study is probably irreproducible bullshit, but at least I like wasabi.

Horseradish wasabi is good. I’ve also had real wasabi, which is even better.
