PLEASE NOTE: This video was filmed after the second state of emergency ended in Tokyo.
In this episode of Pheebz to Table, Phoebe learns how to grow wasabi with Takamura Noritoshi, the 8th generation wasabi producer who runs Takaso Wasabi Farm (有限 会社 たか惣) in Nakaizu, Shizuoka. His family has been growing wasabi for 300 years, benefiting from the area’s ideal climate for wasabi production. Wasabi requires clean, running water, temperatures that are not too low, and abundant rainfall.
Step-by-step process of how to grow wasabi
Clean the swamp before planting wasabi using a water pump.
Mix the different-sized sand particles and flatten the ground.
Plant the wasabi seedlings one by one in their own bottomless, cylindrical pots.
After planting, the fields must be maintained. Pull weeds, pick up fallen leaves, control the sunlight by covering/uncovering the wasabi fields with nets, make sure the water is still flowing unblocked, etc.
18 months after planting, the wasabi is ready to harvest

WOW.... love wasabi
Mmm love wasabi growing up I always thought it was just horseradish what a difference fresh wasabi makes - love Pheebz too!
Very interesting, a 300 year old Wasabi dynasty, respect. Thank you for the insight, Mr. Takumura (in the video description it is Mr. Takamura), very friendly and very nice. どうもありがとう. The reporter is great too, really funny

Thank you for your corrections! We are glad you like the video!
I love this episode! It was nice to see wasabi being enjoyed in other ways such as the wasabi miso and wasabi nori. Hopefully another wasabi episode goes more in depth into farming. Such as what alternative crops wasabi farmers use to keep the balance of nutrients in the soil.
Wow this is such a great video thank you. I stumbled upon a video of a small farm in Japan doing it this way years ago and have looked for it ever since.
I can vicariously feel the endorphins! This looks so fun!!
Smash-up job, Phoebe!! Wonderful video!

Yay, Phoebe!
Wasabi is so tricky to try to harvest,it grow in just some specific conditions,also was discovered by a japenesse farmer who bringed to a warlord who later become a Shogun and declared it wasabi as a national treasure :).
Haha, excellent report. Still got your powerfull enthousiasm I see!
10:24 It’s counterintuitive but, in order to avoid (or lessen) the astringent sensation that comes out of your nostrils, you have to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. As soon as you feel that spicy sensation welling up in your nostrils, give it a vigorous inhale then exhale through your mouth. Thank me later.
Inari parcels are SO good. I wish more Japanese restaurants in the USA offered them.

I’m a little late to the comment party, but I wanted to say that the grocery store I go to has them on a regular basis! Sometimes when I walk by the sushi counter I’ll grab a pack to eat in the car on my drive home, lol.

best wasabi
Nice video! Can a wasabi plant be grown from just the rhizome part?
One of our juvenile plants has two leaves that have lost all green, almost a pale white now, they do not seem to be older leaves. Any recommendations? They are also in the same grow box as 3 others that look well. Thanks in advance
good video. i really like

Please where can I buy real wasabi seed or plant? I am in Toronto Canada. Thank you.
Interesting. It would be so handy if you used “what three words” to identify the location of where you can visit these places as cutting & pasting from a description box in KZread isn’t possible on ios
