How Real Wasabi is Prepared at One of the Best Sushi Restaurants in Europe #cooking #sushi

Chef Marty Lau from The Araki London, a former 3-Michelin-star omakase restaurant, reveals the secrets behind real wasabi—how it’s grown, prepared, and why it’s so different from the fake wasabi most people are used to. Watch as he grates fresh wasabi root using traditional techniques, showcasing the delicate flavour and texture that elevate high-end sushi.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
