    I ordered 3 of the large wasabi plants late on a Wednesday and they arrived perfectly packaged, in pristine condition, early on the Friday. Absolutely delighted with both the service and the plants and can't wait to get them in the ground. Thanks Sofia and team Best Regards Martin

    Ordered a Japanese Matcha Set. It came and the equipment was excellent, but the matcha powder packet had a small cut in it. Wasabi Company promptly sent a new bag of matcha which arrived the next day. I would highly recommend, great service and great quality of products.

    I ordered some Wasabi plants and some teas yesterday, I was very surprised and impressed when they arrived today. Very impressive service, looking forward to growing fresh Wasabi, and will be back to order products

    Be warned anyone living in Scotland. I was told the delivery charge for my order (value £36.00) would be £33.49) because I lived in a remote area. I in fact live in the Central Belt, 40 mins from Glasgow, 30 mins from Stirling and an hour from Edinburgh. I don’t think this in anyway counts as remote. I have suggested they change their carrier and until they do I won’t be ordering from them.

    Super products and service, the best place to buy wasabi. I find other products rather expensive but I'm sure the quality is good.
