Fresh Wasabi, Wasabi Plants and More
Discover the unique and authentic flavour of fresh Japanese wasabi roots and wasabi plants. Sourced from wasabi japonica farms in Japan's Shizuoka region and our own farms in Dorset and Hampshire, our fresh wasabi products deliver intense, complex flavour to any dish, but are especially suitable for East Asian cuisine.
Generic wasabi paste found in UK supermarkets lacks the distinctive, punchy flavour of fresh wasabi.

Frequently asked questions
What are wasabi rhizomes?
Wasabi rhizomes are commonly referred to as wasabi roots, denoting the part of the wasabi plant that grows underneath the ground. Wasabi rhizomes are grated to create fresh wasabi paste.
How much does fresh wasabi cost?
Real, fresh wasabi can be expensive because wasabi requires very specific conditions to grow, making it more difficult to produce. Plus, since it is mainly produced in Japan – its natural environment – it can become more expensive when transported to other markets.
However, by growing authentic, fresh wasabi right here in the UK, we can make it much more affordable and accessible for the UK market. You’ll notice a price difference between our Japanese-grown and English-grown wasabi for this reason, with prices starting at £20 for individual Japanese wasabi rhizomes and £10 for individual English wasabi rhizomes. But no matter where they’re grown, all of our wasabi products are fresh and authentic!
Why is fresh wasabi better than wasabi paste?
Fresh wasabi is best because nothing else is added to it to detract from its authentic flavour. Wasabi pastes and powders are mostly made up of horseradish, mustard powders, colourings and flavourings due to the difficulty of growing wasabi plants – especially outside Japan. In fact, some products called wasabi contain no actual wasabi! If you want to add authentic wasabi flavours to elevate your Japanese dishes, you need the real deal – not a horseradish paste marketed as wasabi!
