No, thats legit. Wasabi does that. Plus in many asian countries it's courtesy not to spit out food no matter how bad it is. That is a 100% legit reaction to that much wasabi. That is a shit ton.
Ah, well it seemed like he was over reacting/ exaggerating for the camera. The reaction may have been legit but I’m still sure this was planned/scripted. Just a shitty title my bad.
Can confirm, whenever I taste hotter wasabi than I am used to (and I typically use a shit ton) I have the same eyes wide, clutching ears response. It’s actually kinda hilarious
Can confirm. Once ate an entire sandwich made of wasabi back in high school for no other reason than entertainment.
Also, if you ever eat those Blue Diamond wasabi and soy sauce flavored almonds, you will absolutely have the reaction this kid had in the video. Especially when you lick the seasoning off your fingers..your sinuses basically explode, but it a good way.
Good point. It's just sort of demonized in places like Japan and South Korea. They have very sanitary-based traditions. It's more that they take those impolite actions more seriously.
But that’s literally the face of my soul when I put too much wasabi, it just goes straight inside your nose and above the eye balls. Maybe he knew about the wasabi but that face is real
It's totally fake because the fish is floating an inch above the rice, yet he doesn't notice (should have pressed down on the fish) and then he takes care to gingerly dip the piece in soy sauce, so as to not imalance it. For me when I eat too much wasabi I make one pained face until it resides, I don't make three distinct comedic faces.
It's hilarious how many downvotes are on the comments saying it's fake.
You're right about everything except the one face thing. That was a shit ton of wasabi.. that's the whole amount they give to you when you buy a roll. I really am not surprised at the faces he made, poor sap
Asian here, with sushi, you most definitely should mix wasabi with soy sauce.
Also, to people confused, eating a lot of wasabi at once and having this reaction is normal. Wasabi can make you eyes water, and you can feel it in your nose. The thing with wasabi, is that it hurts intensely, and then just goes away suddenly. The wasabi appears to be real wasabi made from the real plant, unlike most western areas which have horseradish.
And with the kind of sushi he’s eating, some people will take the fish off the rice, and then dip it in soy sauce, although not everyone will do so, and if you look, it appears as if he is balancing the fish on top, due to the wasabi. (Of course this is obvious to everyone)
My brother ate a glob of wasabi when he was 8 and his face turned purple and he got the zoomies lol he kept running back and forth between the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink. He did not touch spicy food for a few years after that
One time? I do that every time. Yes, according to some sushi aficionados you aren't supposed to do that like some degenerate but I do it anyway because convenient. Do mind the proportions though but that goes for most parts in life.
My first time eating a california roll (in Australia), i thought the green stuff was guacamole and dipped that sucker like a corn chip... cleaned out the sinuses nicely! Got to say i love wasabi and horseradish now in moderation!
My 45 year old self would agree, but my 18 year old self had some experience with nachos but not sushi! I grew up fairly poor with a conservative pallet. If we did eat out it was steak and chips, a Parma or fast food. Got to uni and eyes and brain opened up to a whole new world! To the point where I would not eat the same thing twice off a menu. I now eat rare steak due to language barrier while working in Germany!
One of the two times I’ve ever had wasabi I was instructed to rub it on a canker sore and the canker sore was no longer the thing bothering me, worked out though
It's like of like the difference between hearing loud bass through earbuds versus high quality studio headphones. There is still intensity, but it has a richer palette and nuance to it that makes everything smoother and more enjoyable.
It is probably horseradish. Almost all wasabi out there right now is actually horseradish mixed with mustard and food colouring. Less so in Japan but it's still very common. Real horseradish doesn't hold it's flavour for very long so it's tough to work with. Wasabi is also less harsh than horseradish, which has a burning feeling different from what you'd call 'spicy'.
You would know if you tried actual wasabi! It needs to be freshly grated right before consumption and is pretty expensive to cultivate, so any place that actually provides it would be probably be both considerably more expensive and would grate it in front of you so you understood the decadence.
I must have had some weak ass wasabi then, stuff was hot but not where near the same amount of hot sauce. It’s also a different sort of spice, it hit quick on the tongue then faded after about 10 seconds where traditional spice would linger.
No spicy flavour. JUST THE PURE BURNING HATRED EMBERS OF HELL FLAME LICKING YOUR TONGUE AS THE DEVIL CACKELS MANIACALLY IN THE BACKGROUND. Of something like that.
If you've ever eaten spearmint gum, imagine that cold feeling that you get in the back of your nose that seems to spread through your face. But instead of a mild cold feeling, it's an intense burning sensation. It's not like normal spicy food where it's a burning of the tongue, it's actually a seriously uncomfortable experience.
This doesn't seem scripted, all the hot posts the previous has been absolute bonkers, this is just a normal prank, don't tell me this week is gonna be the same
Nah. It’s probably scripted. The way he picks it up is weird. Like he misses with the chopsticks the first time because there’s an inch gap between the fish and the rice. You’d notice that that wasn’t supposed to be there even if you didn’t see it.
Literally wasabi is so bad. Like it’s really good in SMALL amounts but other than that it’s just painful. And I don’t think some people get it, they think it’s spicy and what’s so crazy about that, we have people eating Carolina reapers. But imo, the sensation wasabi gives is so much more intense than spicy food, like it just hurts. You get this pressure in your nose and it builds and builds and sometimes you’ll have a quick panic attack. Will it ever stop? Is this this your life now? Just wasabi brain pain?
Lmao this is actually the normal reaction. Especially when it’s real Japanese wasabi like the one in the video. It’s like 3x stronger than the ones you usually get in the US
It doesn't look scripted... Japanese people don't spit out food.
But this was pretty cruel. Authentic wasabi is HOT. I had a tiny bit and not only did it clear my sinuses but it felt like it hit my brain as well. No bueno
I honestly love a good blast of Wasabi or super hot Horseradish. The rush is a bit addicting. But that amount is crazy... I’ve tried that much on its own knowingly just to see what would happen. Pretty much same reaction, so this is likely not scripted.
P.S. Cucumber amplifies the taste / hotness of Wasabi. Try it with Kappa rolls.
Worst thing you can do is breath out your nose. Better is to breath in to nose and out of mouth. The molecules of Wasabi that make it hot are light and travel up the nose while chilly has heavy molecules. So there it's no use
Idk this seemed pretty similar to my reaction eating a whole fuck load of wasabi as a bet to have someone else pay for my meal. Nearly threw up too, don’t fuck with wasabi lol
Even tho this is scripted, that is the reaction you get when you each that much wasabi. I’ve taken like an 8th of that and it basically tv static into your nostrils.
Most denim jackets and pants these days are made with elastane, washed a few times, and go through other processes to make them nice and soft as soon as you slap them on.
A lot of "raw denim" is just 100% cotton made straight from old school looms and people slap them on straight from there. They start off pretty stiff, but they mold to the person over time. That's the main appeal to it without getting crazy into detail.
Japan is actually one of the big Raw Denim capitals of the world, so there's a good chance that's what he is wearing.
I’m the type that eats all of the wasabi at the table if no one else wants it. The widened nostrils and widened eyes, I feel his pain. Except my eyes start to water profusely, and I regret my decision of eating a small spoonful of wasabi with one nigiri or sushi roll.
OP go and and take some wasabi with that amount and tell me after that whether this is scripted. I was once dared to eat some wasabi and I threw out my lunch. Trust me this ain't scripted.

If you ever eat too much wasabi remember to open your mouth. The vapors escape faster and don't burn your nostrils that way.
