Wasabi Azumino fresh from Japan

Wasabi Azumino refers to fresh Japanese wasabi (Wasabi japonica) from the Azumino region in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

Azumino (安曇野) is known for its particularly clean spring water from the Japanese Alps and its high-quality wasabi. Daio Wasabi Farm, one of the largest wasabi farms in Japan, is also located there. Since real wasabi only thrives in cold, flowing and clear water, its origin is considered a special quality feature.

The fresh wasabi rhizomes are used, which are traditionally grated on a fine grater, such as a samehada or oroshigane grater, just before serving. Fresh wasabi is often served with sushi and sashimi. Its taste is more aromatic, fresh, mild and pleasant on the nose.

Fresh wasabi is sensitive and should be refrigerated at about 2 to 5 °C and stored in a slightly moist place.
