Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. The last stop on our rural excursion was the Daio Wasabi Farm, an interestingly touristy spot. A touristy spot for the Japanese, that is. (A big parking lot, with lots of tour buses.)
Not exactly what you’d call a culinary experience, though Shawna and I had to get a wasabi ice cream cone. (Luckily, no real wasabi flavor to the ice cream.) It was interesting to see how river water had been diverted into broad gullies where the wasabi was planted.

Wow, I never thought about it, but of course it makes sense--a wasabi farm! I'm happy to hear that the wasabi ice cream lacked any real wasabi flavor. That would've hard to swallow.
Heh. I myself thought that they should be installing amusement park rides.
A Knott's Berry Farm of Japan!
