Based in Dorchester, UK, The Wasabi Company has curated an impressive selection of over 450 premium Japanese ingredients and food items during the past decade. The procurement process, driven by requests from eminent chefs across the UK and Europe, highlights the company’s dedication to superior quality, rich provenance, and genuine authenticity.

Their portfolio showcases an outstanding array of products, including Marusho Vinegar’s award-winning vinegars and organic forest-grown shiitake mushrooms, acknowledged with the Japanese Government’s Grand Prize for Sustainability in 2020. Their offering also includes fresh, unpasteurised aged soy sauce, artisanally handcrafted double-fermented miso, aged vinegars, kombu and dashi stock, and an array of citrus juices and syrups.

As the UK’s sole grower of fresh wasabi, The Wasabi Company leverages traditional Victorian watercress beds to recreate the plant’s indigenous Japanese mountainside stream habitat. English-grown and Japanese-imported wasabi cater to Omakase and Kaiseki Japanese restaurants, as well as Michelin-starred European restaurants.

In reflecting the gastronomic trend towards Japanese-inspired cuisine, fermented foods, and unique artisan-crafted products, The Wasabi Company’s product range serves as an invaluable chefs treasure trove.
