Japan 清真 農場之旅(2)

David will take you on a breathtaking walk through the countryside of Okutama, to his natural wasabi farm, a magical place in which he will inspire you with his knowledge and passion of this amazing plant. Pure authentic fresh wasabi is a wonderful taste sensation, don’t hesitate to book into this experience. A highlight of our holiday!

An amazing experience! David has a lot of knowledge about the history of wasabi and the area in which his farm is. It was a great getting to try different varieties and tasting the differences. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do something a bit different over the “traditional” experiences.

Akito san along with his extraordinary tea knowledge & warmth really helped in giving us a very special experience in heritage, culture & artisanal tea making. I cannot recommend it highly enough, if you are a fan of tea & would love an comprehensive & tailor-made experience, don’t hesitate to book!

The wasabi farm experience was phenomenal. A beautiful walk through the woods, as well as education about the plants, animals and geography that affect the growing region was followed by sashimi and beef with freshly grated wasabi right out of the stream. David was a patient and careful guide, and was both thoroughly knowledgeable on the subject of wasabi growing as well as an advocate for more natural wasabi rather than the fake "horseradish" wasabi you get at most restaurants. It is a rather active walk - about 1.7 miles round trip, uphill all the way to the location, so when he says "where a good pair of walking shoes or boots" he's not kidding. We arrived early and enjoyed the local scenery and nature. It's a welcome break just an hour our of Tokyo city downtown. "Take a bath in nature".

We had the BEST time at Akito’s tea tour. Whether or not you enjoy drinking tea you will enjoy this tour!! The tea fields are so beautiful and picturesque, we got to pick tea leaves, tried many delicious teas, and Akito was so lovely and knowledgeable. He knew the answer to every question, and we asked a LOT of questions! Not only did we have so much fun but we learnt a lot. :) Highly recommend!
