It is made with fresh wasabi rather than wasabi powder which is much spicier.

It's not everyday that you find a spice being used in a dessert that is supposed to cool you down. Could this be the start of a new trend?

I haven't tried this wasabi popsicle yet. If any of you have, let me know your thoughts.
