Wasabi horseradish is used in Japan with sushi and sashimi as well as with other meals such as cold soba noodles. Wasabi is derived from the root of the wasabi plant which requires very clean, fresh water to grow well. The mountains of the Japan Southern Alps receive abundant rainfall and this area is perfectly suited for growing wasabi. Farmers in these high mountains have for centuries grown wasabi in terraced fields similar to rice paddies, however wasabi fields are normally situated much higher in the mountains than rice fields. While hiking in the mountains here it is not uncommon to find small wasabi farms situated along the narrow course of fast running streams or at the base of cascading waterfalls. ---- Welcome to the softypapa channel.

The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don't bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.

just looking at those neatly piled rock walls... that's an awesome place

the best wasabi is actually grown in Australia. and is in fact sold to Japan and chili and a few more countries

“@DJCLUE: do some damn work already!!!!” >>> Ha! Got some cookin.. You know I'm on my grind bruh #lmao :)

@softypapa Even a bit of ernie from sesame street! :)

Ahaha, I have done the same thing. Over 50 years ago, I was in Dallas, Tex (first time from Japan) killing time for next flight connection, I found an Oyster Bar in downtown. Since I love fresh oysters, I went in and ordered a dozen fresh half shells. Found a small jar marked as Horse Radish, so I put full spoonful (or more) on one of them because I believed American are coward with spices and this must be mild thing. WRONG! I almost hit the ceiling cus it exploded in my mouth!

What!? I though the wasabi paste i buy at the supermarket is the real thing. Oh well, I will know how the real wasabi will taste when I have a chance to go to Nippon.

@BeTheDeathOfMe You should! I'm moving there too, but that is only for my further Bujutsu/Budo career (some things cannot be learned in Europe, they have to be studied in Japan). I'm an avid Bujutsu/Budo martial artist and a lover of Japanese nature and culture.

You are truly the only one on youtube who gives the CORRECT picture of Japan; with its own nature and tradition in the front picture rather than all the modern cities. Great job

@poodlemcdoodle LOL you made me laugh with that

my dad had a bad experience with wasabi. he didn't know what it was and then he was dared to eat it and he took a big glob of it and ate it....his face....HIS FACE XD

it's too bad that most people don't even realize that the green stuff they get with their sushi isn't even 'wasabi', it's run-of-the-mill horseradish, perhaps with some spicy mustard added and some green coloring.

2:20 in the middle it looks like a face watchin for the wasabi o.O

beautiful countryside mate any work for esl teachers in these areas?

I must have watched all of your videos by now. Rural japan looks so lovely, and I was concidering moving there.

@OldWhites maked? u mean made?

fresh wasabi root is extremely expensive...Im a professional chef and purchased some roots through my produce company and paid 90$ a pound. If any of you want to get some and use it, wasabi root is spiciest when grated extremely fine, into a paste almost. It is worth getting an authentic shark skin grater for this just like the ones the japanese places use that use fresh wasabi root. The grater is typically around 50$ US. Enjoy.

There was an American who started a Wasabi farm by smuggling Wasabi roots out of Japan. Afterward, he found the ideal place in America to plant the Wasabi roots. The Japanese government wasn't happy about his new business venture. Look it up on the Internet to find Wasabi Roots. It's just like horseradish. In fact, when you go to a Supermarket, you will find that most of the Wasabi paste are 95% horseradish mixed with real Wasabi for taste. Real Wasabi paste100% is expensive.

It's very difficult to get used to. When I first tried it, my eyes began to water profusely and my sinuses felt like someone shoved a match up into them. Luckily, the taste disappears very quickly!

I live in oklahoma. So we don't have Costco. The best place to get sushi in oklahoma is at Tokyo 1 in OKC, or maybe Musashi, and Shogun is a good place. Those are resturants though. Targets sells great sushi. Walmart started to sell sushi, but I wouldn't even touch that shit in Walmart.
