There are primarily two types of wasabi: the authentic Japanese wasabi (Wasabia japonica), which is cultivated in specific conditions and considered the true wasabi used in traditional cuisine, and the common horseradish (Armoracia rusticana), often substituted for wasabi in many dishes due to its similar flavor profile and lower cost. While these are the main categories, variations in preparation, such as paste or powder form, exist. However, true wasabi is rare and can be quite expensive, leading to the prevalence of horseradish-based substitutes in many restaurants.
