Japanese wasabi
From 41,88 €
Wasabi – Wasabia Japonica – is a stem that grows underground.
The flavor is fresh and green with a gentle touch of heat that quickly fades again. This is important so it doesn’t take focus away from the delicate fish flavor in sushi.
Use the grated wasabi with sushi or in sauces, sorbets, dressings, etc.
Keep the bag open and rinse the wasabi every 1–2 days in cold water. This way it keeps for the longest time.
FUN FACTS
Our Japanese wasabi comes only from farms in Shizuoka Prefecture, especially the Amagi area, which is known for high-quality wasabi.
Wasabi from this area is grown on steep terraces. The crystal-clear spring water flows down from the mountains, nourishing the wasabi terraces. The water contains nutrients, minerals, and dissolved oxygen, which are crucial for the wasabi plants to thrive. Trees and the steep hillsides provide natural shade from the summer sun.
When the Isewan Typhoon in 1959 flooded Amagi, it was so devastating that all the wasabi plants were washed away. Mazuma wasabi from Wakayama was replanted, and much of the wasabi grown in the area now comes from this variety.
The experts Yoshiharu-san and his father, Takahashi-san, have over 50 years of experience purchasing the best wasabi from Japan and supplying it to the finest restaurants in Tokyo. Most growers of the best wasabi in Japan are small family businesses; this, combined with wasabi’s long production cycle of at least 18 months, means that Yoshiharu-san sources our wasabi from different growers throughout the year. This ensures a continuous supply of the highest-quality wasabi.
Important when ordering multiple pieces (variable weight)
When you order multiple pieces of a product with a stated weight range, the order is packed according to the total ordered weight – not necessarily in equal pieces.
Example: If you order 2 pcs. of 50–60 g (approx. 120 g in total), you may receive, for example, one piece of 50 g and one of 70 g, as long as the total weight matches what was ordered.
If you specifically want the pieces to be within the stated range per piece (e.g., 2 pieces of 50–60 g each), please write this clearly in the notes field at checkout. Then we will try to accommodate the request as precisely as possible
