So, after hours of laborious research, I've found hon-wasabi for sale from the kiwi-mafia of New Zealand. I get 50 grams of dried, powdered hon-wasabi for $13.55 including shipping, or 150 grams for $25.50. Those are US Dollars, not NZ Dollars. That's really, really, REALLY expensive for a food additive. I'm going to finance all of this if I have to, but if someone out there wants to pay for part of this I promise you'll get a generous ratio.
This is kind of exciting. If the dried, powdered hon-wasabi tastes good, I may have to shell out the $300 to get a fresh, intact rhizome. Mmmmm, my mouth is burning already.
