PLEASE NOTE: The supply of fresh wasabi rhizomes in America has been under increasing demand pressure for the past few years. Supply is improving but at the same time environmental pressures have resulted in delayed and lower harvests. Overall, many efforts are being made to increase supply, but since it takes up to two years from planting to harvest, these things take time: The great news is we are closely networked with other cooperative wasabi growers to allow year round deliveries.
Wasabi has been an important, albeit hard to find ingredient in Japanese cuisine for centuries, also known as Japanese horseradish; its Latin name is wasabia japonica.
As any true sushi connoisseur knows, real wasabi rhizomes are a rare hard-to-find treat, but you can get them here; available in 1/2 Lb., 1 Lb, 2 Lb. 3 Lb. and 5 Lb. packages. Beware, if you've never tried the real deal before, you might not be too happy the next time you go to a sushi bar and they serve the green-colored horseradish, AKA wasabi. If you love sushi and have never tried "Real Wasabi", then grated fresh Wasabi japonica rhizomes are a treat you will surely remember fondly. If you've had fresh wasabi before, then please share this special treat with your friends and family.
The Honzo Waymo is Japan’s oldest botanical dictionary believed to have been compiled in the year 918. The dictionary included numerous references to wasabi, which was then being used medicinally and was considered an antidote to food 
poisoning.
