Dear Marianne,

Wasabi is a very strong Japanese green horseradish. It will clear your
sinuses out, believe me! I've used it as follows: mix a little with your
soy sauce and use it for dipping your tempura or sushi.

I once accidentally "wolfed down" a big glob of wasabi in a dimly-lit
restaurant in Japan. I (literally) could not catch my breath for a minute
or two!

Regards from Paradise,

Myron
