Mazuma
A tier
Mazuma is a wasabi cultivar associated with good rhizome shape and marketable green paste quality in Japanese production—another named line within true E. japonicum. Flavour targets the clean nasal heat of hon wasabi. Grown under intensive water and shade management. Treat as premium true wasabi at the grater. Cultivar differences are subtle next to freshness. Used by farms aiming consistent stems.
