Karashi

Karashi is a type of Japanese mustard that is commonly used as a condiment in various dishes. It is made from ground mustard seeds and has a strong, spicy flavor. Karashi is often served alongside dishes like grilled meats, tempura, and hot pot (nabe) to add a punch of heat and tanginess.

Karashi mustard is typically sold as a powder or paste. To make the paste, the powder is mixed with water to achieve the desired consistency. It is known for its bright yellow color and pungent aroma. The spiciness of karashi can vary depending on the brand and personal preference.

In addition to being a condiment, karashi is also used as an ingredient in various Japanese recipes. It is commonly found in dressings, marinades, and sauces, adding a zesty kick to the overall flavor profile.

When using karashi, it is important to start with a small amount and gradually adjust to taste, as it can be quite spicy. It is often served in small portions or on the side, allowing individuals to add it according to their preference.
