Oorsprong
Wasabi originates from Japan, where wasabi has been cultivated for hundreds of years. This often happens in shaded mountain rivers. Our wasabi stems are grown in greenhouses in the Westland. Wasabi is planted in the spring and takes up to 18 months to grow big enough to harvest. The leaf, stems and root can all be eaten.

How to eat
Thinly sliced, like spring onions and marinated with ponzu, they make a rich, citrusy salad. Traditionally they are marinated in the famous Wasabi Suke with pieces of wasabi rhizome, sake kasu, salt, sugar and mirin. It’s also often used in stews and oven dishes.
