- The factory tour is organized by Tamaruya Wasabi-zuke, a 130-year-old company founded in 1875, and offers free tours of the production process of its famous Shizuoka specialty, Tamaruya Wasabi-zuke, carefully made with domestic wasabi and marinated in mellow sake lees, a traditional taste said to have health benefits such as preventing cancer and reducing body fat. After visiting the factory, visitors can enjoy shopping for wasabi pickles, mayonnaise, dressing, furikake (sprinkles), and other products made with wasabi.
Shizuoka Areas
With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
