Because of its nature due to enzymatic reaction from the moment of grating, the fragrance and pungency of the wasabi volatilizes and escapes. At Kinjirushi's production factory, we devise various measures at each step of the production line in order to deliver the refreshing fragrance and pungency of wasabi to the customer's table with as little missing as possible.
Realization of "Freshly grated" with a -196°C ultracold temperature grating method
To reach customers to deliver the fragrance and pungent of a freshly grated wasabi, the wasabi is grated at -196°C, with Kinjirushi's "ultracold temperature grating method". With this method, by freezing the fragrance and pungent and deliver it to the customers, it is possible to enjoy a freshly grated flavor after unfreezing.

Ingenious production line to keep low temperature
In order to prevent volatilization of fragrance and pungent by enzymatic reaction, the wasabi grated under ultracold temperature is packed when at cold temperature. Then, it is kept in a large freezing facility and delivered to you in frozen state.

Aim for the industry's top level of safety
We are promoting the creation of an environment for customers' safety and security by providing an authentication system, a management of foreign matter inclusion, as well as an introduction of a 360-degree network camera for investigating the cause in case of emergency from entry and exit management in the factory based on complex biometrics system, also working on food defense.

Our devotion to our products
We want to deliver delicious products in a safe and secure way
President of KINJIRUSHI Wasabi Co.,Ltd.
We, Kinjirushi wasabi, developed in 1973 for the first time in the industry a "freshly grated wasabi" that was considered difficult until then by using raw wasabi ingredients, and we offer it to customers even now. Prior to the development of the "freshly granted wasabi" we had been selling "kona wasabi" and "neri wasabi", but we could not reproduce the fresh fragrance and pungent of raw wasabi. Enzymatic reaction occurs immediately after grating wasabi, a refreshing fragrance and a pungent character are developed, which evaporate promptly a very delicate fresh pungency. Therefore, if you use grated wasabi raw ingredients as it is, it will be a product with less fragrance and pungency.
Thus, in order to develop truly delicious wasabi products and to offer our "raw grated wasabi", we are working on raw ingredients storage technology that keeps freshness, and a manufacturing method that suppresses fragrance and pungency enzyme reactions in our laboratory.
In addition, in order to deliver secure and safe products, we are implementing various countermeasures such traceability of used ingredients - installation of a metal detector/X-ray foreign matter detection device to prevent system and foreign substance contamination and introduction of factory entry and exit management system. We will continue to deliver delicious, safe and secure products in the future.
