As a pioneer in processed wasabi,
we contribute to global health and
the enrichment of food culture

Wasabi is a traditional Japanese spice. It was first used as a medicinal herb approximately 1,300 years ago and later became a staple condiment for sushi, soba noodles, and sashimi. Today, it has grown into a globally recognized spice used alongside Japanese cuisine worldwide. Recent research conducted by our company has led to increasing attention on wasabi's functional properties, paving the way for its new applications as a health ingredient.

Since our founding in 1929, we have been dedicated exclusively to wasabi. As a pioneer in processed wasabi, we were the first in the industry to develop fresh grated wasabi, ensuring that the refreshing aroma of wasabi reaches our customers while maintaining the highest quality standards. We managed an integrated production system, from wasabi cultivar development and seedling cultivation to processing, ensuring responsible global distribution of our products. Thanks to our commitment to excellence, KINJIRUSHI has become a trusted brand in wasabi products, earning high recognition across various industries.

Beyond wasabi, we develop a diverse range of spices that enhance the flavor of food. In 1996, we became one of the first processed wasabi manufacturers to begin research into wasabi's functional components. Today, we supply functional ingredients for health foods and cosmetics worldwide, with a focus on wasabi's detoxification, antioxidant, cognitive function enhancement, blood circulation improvement, and skin-beautifying effects. Furthermore, leveraging our expertise and facilities developed through wasabi processing, we are actively expanding into new ventures, including seedling production, crop cultivation, and extraction technologies.

The KINJIRUSHI Group remains committed to its mission of contributing to global health and the enrichment of food culture through our products.
