The unique flavors and healthful properties of "Wasabia Japonica" has been cherished for hundreds of years in the Far East and is best known for its accompaniment to sashimi or sushi dishes that include raw fish. "Wasabia Japonica" is actually a rhizome. Often considered a “super food” because it is healthy and nutritious, it is also valued by chefs and gourmands the world over.
Did you know that most “wasabi” actually isn't, and many products claiming to contain “wasabi” don't? The truth is, what typically passes for “wasabi” is a mix of horseradish, mustard and food coloring. Still, chefs and consumers pay through the nose for what may grow in their backyard. Those lucky enough to discover the Fiery Taste, Smooth Finish of Real Wasabi products savor the differences.
“Real Wasabi” dressings with unique and exotic flavors are known for their Fiery Taste and Smooth Finish that they impart to the dishes to which they are added. This true wasabi is initially sharp, but its tolerable hotness quickly dissipates leaving a sweet aftertaste with no burning sensation - a very distinct, memorable flavor that subtly lingers in the back of the mouth.
igourmet.com is happy to offer three Real Wasabi, certified organic dressings for your pleasure: Wasabi Balsamic Vinaigrette, Wasabi & Mirin Vinaigrette and Wasabi Ranch.

Comments about Real Wasabi Organic Dressings:
I bought both the Vinegarette and the Ranch Dressing. The Ranch Dressing is great on both salads and on sandwiches. The Vinegarette is a little overpowering and has a very sharp taste. Not a bad taste, but if you don't like strong tastes, then it isn't for you.
Absolutely wonderful!!!
