there is a great sushi joint here. you have to save up money to eat there. on some of his creations he takes a real wasabi root and rubs it on a square of shark skin to grate a wad up. amazing.
i'm still saving money for my next visit.

I've purchased and grated wasabi (I used my microplane) and it was pretty potent stuff. It definitely hits you differently than the green paste, though. It was pricey, but you shouldn't need much if your sushi is decent to begin with.
