Wasabi Azumino fresh from Shizuoka Japan L

Real Sawa-wasabi from the region Shizuoka – fresh, rare and incomparably aromatic.

This fresh Japanese wasabi (Wasabi japonica) comes from the renowned growing region of Shizuoka in Japan. The cold, clear spring water from the Japanese Alps offers ideal conditions for its demanding cultivation and characterises its special quality.

For the full taste experience, the fresh rhizome is grated on a fine Samehada or Oroshigane grater immediately before serving. This is how it unfolds its fresh, mild aroma and a fine, pleasantly rising spiciness to the nose – much more nuanced than conventional wasabi products.

Perfect with sushi and sashimi, grilled fish or steak. It also gives dressings, sauces and many other dishes an elegant, authentic Japanese touch.

To preserve freshness and aroma, store the wasabi at about 2 to 5 °C refrigerated and slightly moist.
