As it should be, the fake version usually uses horseradish and mustard and will generate that burning sensation up through your sinuses, the real one is softer and actually has flavour not heat.

I'm aware of that. That's why we use either the real stuff in a tube or make our own from powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you enjoy what you are eating, it is all good of course. Generally though the powder versions have wasabi as the last ingredient on the list and will primarily use horseradish, and will taste like the typical restaurant product. It is good that we have the option on the ship to get the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted November 9, 2022 #55 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I've eaten at Sushi on 5 and we liked it. I'll be on Beyond next year. How is Raw on 5 different? Is Raw open for lunch like Sushi on 5 is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patty1955 Posted November 9, 2022 Author #56 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'm attaching pictures from Sushi on Five. We tried 2 kinds of ramen, nigiri, a hot pot and gyozas. They were all good but the hot pot was probably the best thing we ate on the whole cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is wasabi paste, I would not call what comes out of the squeeze tube 'real wasabi." The fresh root is too expensive for us to use so we get the powder. You would be surprised at the flavor difference between the power and the stuff that comes out of a squeeze tube. And, as others here have said, the fresh from the root is very flavorful and I do not mean hot flavorful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had hot pot but it's always been a Korean dish served in a cast iron pot, thus hot pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you use it/eat in the same way as the typical green wasabi you get with sushi in any restaurant? Yes it is a bit milder - since the “fake” wasabi is kind of just green horseradish. We used it in the same way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Soulja Posted November 9, 2022 #63 Share Posted November 9, 2022 In my opinion I prefer the prepared wasabi in the tube. The powder is just to strong, the fresh has a weird after taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
