Wasabi grows in Tokyo.
Thank you to everyone who visited Booth 2612 at SCAJ2026.
It was a pleasure to meet so many of you over the three days.
14–16 October 2026 / Tokyo Big Sight, South Halls 1–2
Okutama wasabi, meet coffee
TOKYO WASABI grows wasabi in Okutama, in the mountains of western Tokyo.
Our wasabi terraces sit near the headwaters of the Tama River and are fed by mountain streams and spring water.
Typhoons, heavy rain and years without farmers had left them in ruins, and we have been restoring them by hand.
The water that grows wasabi is also the water that brews coffee.
That connection led us to wasabi coffee: coffee finished with freshly grated Okutama wasabi.
At SCAJ2026 we introduced wasabi coffee and other new ways to pair the two.
Work with us
We welcome conversations with roasters, cafés, hotels and restaurants.

- Wasabi powder: made from wasabi leaves, produced to order. Samples are available on request.
- Wasabi soda: 250ml bottles, best before 2 months from production, store in a cool, dark place.
