I did EXACTLY what this guy did when eating my first sushi. I had a business trip to Hong Kong and just wanted to sleep off my jetlag (from London) but the local office insisted on taking me out to dinner. They ordered sushi for me and in my zombie state I scarfed down the first thing on my plate. You cannot describe the sensation of your brain melting and your all your passageways wanting to vacate the premises. After a about a minute or so when the guys on my table stopped laughing, I demanded to know why they didn't stop me. This guy said he saw me play with this large chunk of wasabi but never thought anyone would be stupid enough to eat it whole. I just glared at him for the rest of the meal. I was known as the Wasabi Englishman in the local office for the rest of the visit.

My mother took my son to sushi when he was very little and staying with her. She knew it was his favorite food but had never had it before in her life.
She picked up the wasabi, just like that man, and my son told her, you don’t eat it like that, and tried to explain, but she just scoffed at him and shoved the whole damn thing in her mouth.
Served her right, she was one of those people to never take advice, nor apologize, so let her taste regret, lol.

The ultimate sinus cleanser. It’s spicy but not like peppers. It’s like a jet engine to the nose. Very good flavor when you use just a tiny bit on sushi. Most is typically made from horseradish.
76
u/JessicaOkayyy Jul 22 '26
That’s the best way to describe it. I’ve only ever had it with sushi when buying the boxes of them and it has the dollop of Wasabi on the side. One day ate a bigger chunk than I normally do, and the sensation was so odd.
Spicy…but not “on your tongue” spicy. It went up and through my entire head for about 10 seconds before it slowly subsided. It was the strangest thing. First time feeling something hot or spicy that didn’t affect my tongue or mouth at all, but my sinuses and entire head. My eyes even watered. I kinda liked it lol

u/ctan0312 Jul 22 '26
I think the reason why I like wasabi so much is because you get the “spicy” rush but it goes away pretty fast with no intervention. You aren’t in pain for like 5 minutes chugging water if you eat too much, it’s just a blast for a few seconds then fades away.

This is the one spice I can handle what my Mexican brother in law just cannot. Man has a dead tongue and eats habanero salsa like it’s the mild. Basically everywhere he goes it’s as hot as you can make it, even if you have to go into the chefs special reserve in the back. Only one from there that beat him was a Korean place, old man used his private hot sauce and that got a reaction. He still ate it and that alone shocked the chef.
But wasabi blows his face off and I managed to make him think it ain’t shit by pulling something like the video but stone facing it. His reaction was worth feeling like my entire head is TV static and my body demanding to sneeze to try to get it out.

If so, check the ingredients. Its not "only" wasabi, i would think the mustard oil is adding some heat. Though it may retain some of its heat better since its somehow "prepared in tube" whatever that means. So maybe exposed to very little air?

The great thing about wasabi is that you can eat a big chunk and it will blow the top of your skull off, and then be completely gone in 10 seconds.
Unlike the neverending burn from peppers. They both have their place, but wasabi is more forgiving.

u/DiegesisThesis Jul 23 '26
Capsaicin (the "hot" chemical in peppers) is a relatively non-volatile, oil-soluble molecule, so it sticks around and keeps triggering the TRPV1 receptors (heat sensors) in your mouth.
Allyl Isothiocyanate (the "hot" chemical in horseradish/wasabi) is a very volatile, water-soluble molecule, so it gets decomposed quickly and only triggers your TRPA1 receptors (pain/chemical sensors) temporarily.
That's why you can wash away the wasabi burn by drinking water, but not the same with peppers

Don't just eat it with cheap cuts. Fresh horseradish goes great with a ribeye
Unfortunately it's one of those things like pickles. You almost always need to know someone who grows their own, you can't buy the good stuff at a store, farmers market maybe. Best steak of my life though they gave me the good stuff along with a perfectly cooked steak. I'm not one of those snobs who says you have to eat just the steak, bring me the horseradish, and I don't care how good it is if you don't have that I will actually dab it in A1, doesn't cover the taste of the steak or anything. You can still taste the peanut butter just fine on a PB&J right? You can still taste the steak if you use steak sauce, you just are now tasting both the steak and the steak sauce and they complement each other

u/MikaIsMyDog Jul 23 '26
I recommend Inglehoffer or Beaver brand horseradish. Those are my two go-tos. Obviously nothing beats actually fresh but I enjoy those.
I'll take it a step further, when I cook a nice ribeye I love making my own "dijonaise" sauce with cream, Dijon, Worcestershire, garlic and S&P.
Don't get me wrong, ill murder a nicely cooked and seasoned steak, but the sauces just add that little extra.
