Tips & Warnings

Feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your taste.
Some folks like a few dried pepper flakes for a little more heat
you may add some toasted sesame seeds for a little crunch
pickled ginger makes a nice counterpoint
add a little lime juice if you feel it needs more acid
Wasabi is an extremely strong condiment, so go slowly until you know how much you like.
make sure you use cocktail or dry sherry as sweet or cream sherry is much too sweet.
