Does the taste of wasabi differ depending on the grater?!

There are two tools used to grate wasabi, one is a metal grater and the other is called “Samegawa” (sharkskin), which has a layer of shark skin. When something as fine as shark skin is used for grating, the spicy flavor is enhanced and when a coarser metal is used, the sweetness is enhanced.

The taste of the wasabi even changes depending on whether it is turned clockwise or counter-clockwise while grating.

  1. Paragraph writing is also a excitement, if you know afterward you can write or else it is difficult to write.

  2. My brother recommended I might like this blog.
    He was entirely right. This post truly made my day.

  3. Hi, yeah this post is genuinely good and I have
    learned lot of things from it on the topic of blogging.
    thanks.

    1. Thank you for your reply. At one sushi restaurant, Oyakata (the sushi master) grates wasabi clockwise, but Okami (the landlady) grates it counterclockwise.
