Nestled between Hayama to the east and Mt. Gassan to the south, Okura village holds the distinction of being the least populated village in Yamagata prefecture. During winter, the beech forests are blanketed with over 3 meters of heavy snow, which over millennia transforms into rich spring water. This water nourishes the rice terraces and cultivates aromatic wasabi. The wasabi is cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and the processing is done without any additives, adhering to the principle of “food safety first.”
