Taste of Wasabi at Nagano - Jeanne

I recently visited Daio Wasabi Farm in Nagano Prefecture (picture 1). 

Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of mountains, the farm is famous for its fresh wasabi, which grows in clear and flowing water.

For lunch, I tried a special menu with wasabi in various forms (picture 2). The wasabi I had wasn’t very spicy, but it was full of flavor and had a dark green color. My friends, on the other hand, chose a different menu with a much spicier wasabi, which was brighter in color.

Before leaving, I picked up some unique souvenirs: wasabi-flavored daifuku, wasabi oil, a grater to prepare fresh wasabi. I also couldn’t resist buying a funny Hello Kitty pen : she was crying while eating wasabi.

For wasabi lovers, Please try Daio Wasabi Farm one day!
