Wasabi (Japanese: 山葵 or 和佐比;) is a member of the cabbage family. Commonly known as Japanese horseradish, it grows naturally along stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. It is green, has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is different from chili pepper, which burns the tongue; wasabi's strong sensations shoot up one's sinus cavity instead.
