Dispatch from Japan: Daiyo Wasabi Farm

On my last full day with Kazuko-san we got to go to Daio Wasabi Farms, Japans largest wasabi farm. I had heard of this place from my mom who sent me an email about the farm when she found out that I'd be in Matsumoto, Japan. As soon as I had read about it, i wanted to go. I was beyond ecstatic when Kazuko-san said we'd be going. I was like a kid going to a candy farm. spicy green candy :)

  1. Sadly not sure if I've ever had actual wasabi or just horseradish colored pea green...
