Wasabi [wa-sar-bee]

This Japanese cabbage is their version of horseradish, and its root can be lethal to the uninitiated. Green in colour, it’s often served in paste form with sushi and sashimi for those who want a bit of fire with their raw fish. Like a fire, wasabi needs oxygen – so breathe out through the mouth and in through the nose if you get into bother and you will be spared the worst.
