David is an Australian journalist who first noticed wasabi patches sprouting from clear running streams while on a hike in the hills of Okutama, far from the closest road. After becoming involved with the local community of wasabi farmers, he did something he never would have imagined—embarked on the journey of starting his own wasabi farm. Join him to learn all about the delicate nature of wasabi, which thrives in very specific conditions, and hear his story.
