Lo que comen es rábano picante teñido de verde, producido en masa y muy alejado del complejo aroma y el picante lleno de matices del auténtico.

"The truth is, most people have never tasted real wasabi. They're eating green-dyed horseradish, mass-produced and far removed from the complex aroma and nuanced heat of the real thing. We decided it was time to change that, right here in the U.S.," says Shun Sano, co-founder of Cai Foods, an indoor wasabi grower. After a dull sushi dinner that served them 'fake wasabi' which cost them $150, Max and Shun set their sights on authentic, Japanese-style wasabi cultivation.
