Helpful hint

Wasabi does a decent job of staving off an allergy attack when it hits during a sushi dinner.

The sinuses don't know what to do: "Yeah, I'll get back to you on that pollen thing, right now I'M ON FIRE!!!!"

So, what is the proper vector for the wasabi, to receive maximum effect? Eaten as a paste? Snorted as a powder?

Whatever floats your boat. For me, it started with the wasabi shumai, followed with the Fire Dragon roll with a requested coating of wasabi tobiko, and then the surf clam and scallop sushi with large dollops of wasabi paste.

Any one of those, properly chewed and held on the tongue during nasal exhale, did the trick.
