Wasabi Sushi introduction

Wasabi Sushi (わさび寿司) is a traditional dish from the Shimizu region, featuring sushi wrapped in fresh wasabi leaves cultivated in the pristine streams of the Arita River. This unique sushi offers a delightful kick of spiciness from the wasabi leaves that envelop the vinegared rice. Some variations also include fillings such as salted mackerel or sweetly simmered horse mackerel, adding extra layers of flavor. The sushi can be eaten whole, leaves and all, allowing you to experience its crisp texture and the invigorating fragrance of wasabi. It even gained widespread attention after being featured on television, becoming so popular that it was difficult to find for a while. Wasabi Sushi is a must-try delicacy for those seeking a truly one-of-a-kind culinary experience.
