Since relocating back to St. Louis, MO, USA, my husband and I have had some issues finding wasabi (even in our Asian grocery!). The grocery stores seem to only carry the dry powder, wasabi mustard, or wasabi mayo. We finally found some in the paste form that we were used to at a Global Foods market, but discovered after purchasing that it has lactose in it! I do not remember ever seeing this before.
Does anyone (especially in the US) know a brand of wasabi that is vegan (I may have to order online, or call around to stores farther away)? And also, does anyone know if the wasabi used in Japanese restaurants is usually non-vegan? I am paranoid now.
Thanks!
