There are usually two ways to say wasabi in Japanese:
1. Mustard seeds (からし) karashi, ?called mustard in Chinese
2. Wasabi (わさび) wasabi in Chinese means mustard, also called horseradish
The difference is:?
Mustard seed (からし): It is yellow in color and is generally used for Western-style pastries. Use as seasoning.
Also known as mustard mustard and potato mustard, yellow mustard originates from China and is made from ground mustard seeds. It has a pungent and spicy smell, but it is weaker than green mustard.
Wasabi (わさび): It is green and is generally used as a seasoning in sashimi and other aspects.
Nowadays, it is used as a dipping sauce for dried squid and ayu fillets in barbecue restaurants.
Original from Japan, wasabi is green in color, its pungent smell is stronger than yellow mustard, and it has a unique aroma.
Both condiments are indispensable condiments in people’s lives.
