1. Wasabi

   Wasabi (Japanese: ワサビ, わさび, or 山葵, pronounced [waꜜsabi]; Eutrema japonicum or Wasabia japonica) or Japanese horseradish is a plant of the family Brassicaceae, which also includes horseradish and mustard in other genera. The plant is native to Japan and the Russian Far East including Sakhalin, also the Korean Peninsula.: 133  It grows naturally along stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. It is grown for its rhizomes which are ground into a paste as a pungent condiment for sushi and other foods. It is similar in taste to hot mustard or horseradish rather than chili peppers in that it stimulates the nose more than the tongue, but freshly grated wasabi has a subtly distinct flavor.: 53  The two main cultivars in the marketplace are E. japonicum 'Daruma' and 'Mazuma,' but there are many others.: 57 The oldest record of wasabi as a food dates to the 8th century AD. The popularity of wasabi in English-speaking countries has coincided with that of sushi, growing steadily starting in about 1980. Due to issues that limit the Japanese wasabi plant's mass cultivation and thus increase its price and decreased availability outside Japan, the western horseradish plant is generally used in place of the Japanese horseradish. This version is commonly referred to as "western wasabi" (西洋わさび) in Japan.

1. Wasabi

   Wasabi is a social networking website in Europe, with 4.5 million members. The site was formed in 2001 as Passado, by two school friends who thought it would be interesting if people who left their school or university could just keep in touch. Passado then expanded rapidly and became one of the most successful European reunion platform for school friends and work colleagues. Nowadays it is re-building itself to be the leading European Social Network. In the past few years Wasabi has added more Web 2.0 functionality including blogging, photo sharing, reviews and a groups section. With growing communities in Spain, France, Germany and recently Italy. The Headquarters of Wasabi are situated in London /Great Britain. In late 2008, i-CD Publishing Ltd, the legal entity behind Wasabi, filed a lawsuit against its former employee, Albert Popkov, for launching a popular Russian social networking site odnoklassniki.ru claiming that he illegally used some of the data and knowledge acquired during his work on Passado project. As of 25/06/2011, the following message is displayed on the website: 'Sorry, we are closing down the site for internal reasons, we apologise for any inconvenience. Thank you for supporting us.'
