Half Moon Bay Wasabi Gift Card

Looking for a truly unique gift for the chef, foodie, or gardener in your life? A Half Moon Bay Wasabi Gift Card lets them experience something extraordinary — authentic, fresh wasabi grown right here on the California coast. 

Most people have never tasted real wasabi. The “wasabi” served in most restaurants is actually horseradish with green dye, and possibly wasabi powder. Real Wasabia japonica is a completely different experience — bright, floral, with a quick, clean heat that fades into subtle sweetness. Once you taste it fresh, there’s no going back.

A Farm Unlike Any Other

Founded in 2011 by Jeff Roller and Tim Hall — two electricians turned farmers — Half Moon Bay Wasabi is one of only a handful of farms in the United States growing authentic wasabi. What began as a passion project has become a culinary favorite among top chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants across the country. Our custom-designed greenhouses and sustainable growing practices produce wasabi with remarkable freshness and flavor complexity.

How They Can Use Their Gift Card

Your recipient can redeem their gift card for:

• Fresh wasabi rhizomes, harvested year-round and shipped immediately after harvest.
• Seasonal wasabi leaves, stems, and flowers, loved by chefs for their unique texture and mild heat.
• Wasabi starts, perfect for adventurous growers who want to try cultivating this rare plant at home.
• Kinjirushi graters, a wonderful addition to any chef's kitchen
  
• Half Moon Bay Wasabi Merchandise

Why It’s a Gift They’ll Remember

Fresh wasabi is an unforgettable experience — complex, delicate, and fleeting. The flavor peaks within minutes of grating, creating a sensory moment few ever experience outside Japan. As chef-owner Adam Tortosa of Robin says:

“The wasabi we get from Half Moon Bay is just as good if not better than the stuff from Japan — and it’s fresher than anything coming out of Japan.”

Give the gift that sparks curiosity and elevates every meal.
Share the authentic wasabi experience — one fresh rhizome at a time.
