Update on Wasabi for Eating – i.e. Wasabi Root (Rhizome), and More! The Wasabi Insider Issue No. 1
Welcome to the first issue of The Wasabi Insider!
First – let me say THANK YOU for being part of the Oregon Coast Wasabi Family. I am so grateful for every one of our customers.
Second – You are the first to hear these two bits of news about our wasabi root (rhizome).
#1 We will have a limited amount of wasabi for eating - root (rhizome) available for purchase in the spring. Once this latest crop of rhizome is ready to harvest we will send out an email letting you know!
#2 Over the past 9 months we have been working very hard behind the scenes making some positive changes at the farm.
One of those changes includes increasing our production. It takes approximately 18 months of growing before wasabi root (rhizome) is ready to harvest. Because of such a long growing season it takes a while for changes made at the farm to come to fruition.
The good news is that the improvements we have been making will, over time, increase the amount of wasabi root (rhizome) we have available to sell. We are very excited about these changes and we can’t wait to get you even more wasabi root (rhizome)!
I am so grateful for the kind patience you have been extending to us during this transition.
Lastly – I know that the sooner we able to offer more wasabi root (rhizome) the better, in the meantime we do have both Wasabi Plant Starts, Genuine Wasabi Powder, and Wasabi All Purpose Seasoning Salt and Rub available for ordering.
Thank you again for being part of the Oregon Coast Wasabi Family.
Sincerely,
Jennifer
