Our star ingredient is genuine Real Wasabi from Shizuoka Prefecture. Never horseradish, never mustard, and never artificial coloring, with nothing substituted or supplemented along the way. This is Real Wasabi exactly as it is meant to be tasted and experienced.
Kameya is a proud recipient of the 2021 Excellent Quality Gold Award from Monde Selection, a leading international taste and quality organization. From root to stem to leaf, that award-winning flavor runs through our full range, genuine Grated Wasabi, Furikake, Salt and traditional seasonings.
Our Real Wasabi is grown in Shizuoka Prefecture, home to 78% of all Wasabi produced in Japan. Nurtured in pure mountain spring water and rich volcanic soil, it is celebrated every year at national fairs as the most rare, prized and delicious in the country.
We consider Real Wasabi a true form of agricultural art. Our farmers cultivate Wasabi Japonica by hand all year round, planting seedlings in terraced fields fed by running spring water, with precise control of water and sunlight. From seedling to harvest takes over 13 months, a Kameya labor of love.
For three generations, the Kamegai Family has built and passed down more than 75 years of culinary knowledge, all in pursuit of one thing, bringing the most delicious of Japan's natural resources first to their home country, and now to the rest of the world.
Nothing is wasted. Roots become our renowned Wasabi, while every remaining stem is used in the Wasabi pickles we sell in Japan. Our farms are among just 60 worldwide named a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System, or GIAHS, by the United Nations, recognized for their biodiversity, tradition and sustainable care of the land.
