left: These pictures (not sure if they will come up blurry on the blog) are from a wasabi farm in Matsumoto. Wasabi is a difficult crop to grow as it requires massive amounts of flowing water to stay alive. Because of this, it is grown in river beds (if you look at the photos closely, you can see the bends in the river--the wasabi covers the entire river). It's an amazing sight to see. At the farm, one can buy wasabi beer, wasabi ice cream, wasabi bread, wasabi (of course), and wasabi spreads of every imaginable variety.
