Future Prospects

While water wasabi cultivation has been recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage, the number of wasabi farmers is decreasing and wasabi pickles are declining, and we hope to use this award as an opportunity to convey the taste of wasabi pickles to many people. Especially in Shizuoka Prefecture, where tourism is thriving, the demand for wasabi pickles as a local specialty is growing, and the product is appealing to both domestic and international tourists. Furthermore, we aim to expand sales on a nationwide scale, both online and offline, through our e-commerce site and select stores, thereby increasing opportunities for more people to pick up our products.
