## How to Use “Wasabi Farmer’s Powdered Wasabi” – One Serving

### 1. Mix the wasabi

Add 1/2 teaspoon (about 1.5 g) of this product to 1/2 teaspoon (about 2 g) of water, and mix well until smooth.

### 2. Let it rest for about 5 minutes

After mixing, let it sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the heat, aroma of real Japanese wasabi, and its delicate natural sweetness to develop more fully.

### 3. Enjoy

Serve with sashimi or other dishes, together with soy sauce or your preferred seasoning.

### Tips for Use

* Wasabi’s heat develops when the powder is mixed with water. Eating the powder as-is or simply sprinkling it over sashimi will not produce the same pungency.

* Adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred consistency.

* The heat begins to develop immediately after mixing, but letting it rest for about 5 minutes makes the aroma and subtle sweetness of Japanese wasabi easier to appreciate.

# About “Wasabi Farmer’s Powdered Wasabi”

Powdered wasabi is generally not made from Japanese wasabi alone.

Many powdered wasabi products are made primarily from horseradish, sometimes called Western wasabi, which is dried and processed into powder.

This differs in both ingredients and flavor profile from the fresh Japanese wasabi traditionally grated and served at sushi restaurants.

One reason powdered wasabi has been widely used is that it has traditionally been difficult to maintain the pungency and aroma of Japanese wasabi alone in a stable form.

Today, convenient tube-style wasabi is also widely enjoyed.

As wasabi farmers, however, we wanted people to experience more of the distinctive aroma, gentle sweetness, and lingering flavor of real Japanese wasabi in an easy-to-use form.

The powerful heat of powdered wasabi is one of its strengths.

At the same time, when paired with sashimi, we sometimes felt that the character of horseradish could become a little too dominant.

That small preference, born from our perspective as wasabi farmers, led us to create **“Wasabi Farmer’s Powdered Wasabi.”**

We grow Japanese wasabi in Iwaizumi, Iwate Prefecture.

To preserve as much of its pungency and aroma as possible, the wasabi is slowly dried at a low temperature for 21 hours. The dried Japanese wasabi is then finely milled and blended with powdered wasabi made in Hokkaido.

The product contains approximately **30% Japanese wasabi**.

Add water, mix well, and let it rest for about 5 minutes. The sharp, refreshing heat characteristic of powdered wasabi is joined by the aroma and delicate sweetness of Japanese wasabi.

We recommend giving it just a little time for the flavor of the Japanese wasabi to fully develop.

Enjoy it with sashimi, meat dishes, chilled tofu, and more.

Serve together with soy sauce or your favorite seasoning.
