Dear Marianne, Wasabi is a very strong Japanese green horseradish. It will clear your sinuses out, believe me! I've used it as follows: mix a little with your soy sauce and use it for dipping your tempura or sushi. I once accidentally "wolfed down" a big glob of wasabi in a dimly-lit restaurant in Japan. I (literally) could not catch my breath for a minute or two!
