'''Wasabi''' (山葵) — literal translation from Japanese as "[[horseradish]]" — is a very potent member of the horseradish family used primarily in [[Japanese]] cuisine. It is often served alongside [[sushi]] and [[sashimi]], sometimes mixed with [[soy sauce]] and used as a dip. It may also be added to other dishes such as noodle soups or marinades. Wasabi is prepared by grating the edible part of the plant, the root, into small shreds.

In addition to use with sushi and other common applications, the leaves of the wasabi plant may be eaten, and wasabi powder is often used to coat [[pea]]s or other [[bean]]s.
