The environment of food supported by forest
The solid earth of Hokkaido was cultivated by the sweat from severe labor and effort of our ancestors, and the forest and waste land were revived as a fertile land. As the result, the delicious foods could be harvested. The air temperature difference becomes 50°C~60°C between in midsummer and in midwinter. This climate produces the optimum environment for growing yama wasabi balanced with pungent taste and flavor.
