From fiery taste to smooth finish, wasabi offers an experience like no other. Though often replaced with imitation flavors, true wasabi stems from the fascinating, temperamental wasabi plant. At Real Wasabi, we've nurtured these rare beauties for over 20 years. Now, we want to share our passion for growing wasabi with you.

Tissue Culture
For the highest quality wasabi plants, we recommend tissue culture cultivation. This yields higher survivability compared to seeds or offshoots. The plants multiply identically, preserving excellent wasabi genetics. Tissue culture is ideal for commercial-scale wasabi farming.

Wasabi Plant Starts
For those interested in smaller-scale wasabi gardening, consider our plant starts. Derived from the offshoots of mature wasabi plants, these starts provide an accessible entry into your wasabi cultivation journey. Plant them in cold, running water or medium rich potting soil to ensure they thrive.
