Here is a Japanese Wasabi Video.

It is supposed to be a documentary, but it seems more like a tourist “come to Japan” advertisement.

Have a look and see what you think.

Since the time this documentary was made most of the rivers and streams East of Tokyo have been contaminated with radioactive fallout from the Fukushima nuclear power station disaster. This has caused most of the mountain and river wasabi farms shown in this documentary to be abandoned as people are evacuated from the contaminated areas.

There are a number of misinformation snippets through the video that were probably intentional as the video makers would have no idea this was happening.

I found the Australian voice over the actual Australian voices of the Australian people who were interviewed for the video strange to say the least.

The wasabi plants that were shown as being grown in Tasmania using similar methods to the traditional Japanese methods did not appear very healthy, and were suffering from an insect infestation.

Michel Van Mellaerts (The Wasabi Maestro) is the recognized World authority and expert on the practical Growing, Processing and Marketing of Wasabia japonica. He and his wife have been commercially growing Wasabia japonica longer than anyone else outside Japan.

Trained as an Electrical and Mechanical Engineer he has invented and installed many improved growing systems into their farms. These enable high quality Wasabi to be grown anywhere in the World.

The Wasabi Maestroes have set up commercial Wasabi growing farms from the Arctic Circle to Southern New Zealand, including the Equator. They have worked with individual growers, national governments, and investment groups on four continents.

These growing systems have reduced growing times by nearly 67%, improved yield and quality of the Wasabi rhizome, and increased the levels of active ingredients by nearly 100%. It is these active ingredients that independent scientific studies show kills cancer cells and improves human health.

They pioneered the use of Wasabia japonica in the Nutraceutical and Medical industries. They are at the leading edge of research into the benefits of Wasabi on human and animal health.

The Wasabi Maestroes offer a Training and Consultancy service for potential and actual Wasabi growers who only want to learn from the best. Others spend their time floundering around trying to find out what information is useful and what isn’t.

The Training has been proven and improved over the last 20 years plus of personal commercial Wasabi growing. This has been hands on, getting wet and dirty work – not guesswork from behind a desk.
