Imitation Wasabi is Everywhere

When most people think of wasabi, they probably picture that bright green paste served next to sushi. But here's the truth: most of what you’re eating is not authentic wasabi. It's often a mix of horseradish, mustard, and food coloring. While it might have that spicy kick, it’s far from the rich, complex flavor of authentic wasabi.

Who We Are

We’re Jeff and Tim, electricians turned farmers, who were frustrated with the lack of authentic wasabi in the U.S. So, in 2011, we decided to grow our own. Using innovative, sustainable farming methods, we’ve been producing premium, hand-harvested wasabi ever since. Our wasabi is now trusted by top-tier restaurants across the country, from Michelin-starred Deluge Sushi to the acclaimed SingleThread Farms.
