After two years, a “modest” improvement was observed alongside boost in episodic memory.

Wasabi may have a positive effect on memory and cognition, a study finds. Experts explain how wasabi may boost brain health.

A study by researchers at Tohoku University in Japan suggests that wasabi may have properties beneficial to short- and long-term memory, particularly in the context of cognitive function and dementia. After three months, the group given wasabi showed a significant improvement in cognitive function, particularly in episodic memory, with test scores in language skills, concentration and the ability to perform simple tasks increasing by an average of 18%. “We knew from earlier animal studies that wasabi conferred health benefits,” lead researcher Rui Nouchi told CBS News.

A new study has found that wasabi, the spicy green condiment often used in sushi, may improve your memory.

A researcher behind a study of wasabi's effect on cognition says he knew the fiery condiment had health benefits, but "the dramatic change" in memory was a surprise.
