Beyond Products: Three Ways to Co-Create Value
Welcome. This is more than a catalog of products; it is an invitation to participate in the future of agriculture. Whether you are a culinary professional seeking the highest quality ingredients, an individual connoisseur looking for a deeper connection to your food, or an investor with a vision for sustainable growth, we have created an opportunity for you.
01
For Professionals
We provide chefs, pâtissiers, and food manufacturers with wasabi that offers unparalleled quality and consistency. Thanks to our advanced Fogponics system, our products are available year-round, free from the inconsistencies of seasonal weather.

03
Join Our Expansion Project
Our investment opportunity is composed of two stages: first, the resolution of a tangible social issue with Kyoto’s idle farmland, and second, the challenge of a future frontier with food production in space.
For Professionals
An Ingredient for the Culinary Innovator
We provide culinary professionals with wasabi that transcends its role as a mere condiment, becoming a core ingredient of unparalleled quality. Our data-driven, hybrid cultivation method allows us to offer a product defined by its purity and complexity.
We offer not only the rhizome, prized for its clean heat and aromatic sweetness, but also the versatile leaves and stems, which carry a delicate, pure spiciness perfect for innovative confectionery, sauces, and signature dishes.
Because our indoor farm is unaffected by seasons, we guarantee a stable, year-round supply, providing the reliability you need to perfect your craft. Partner with us to unlock the true potential of wasabi.
Pros and Cons
Our year-round stable supply, unaffected by weather, provides the reliability you need to perfect your craft and innovate with confidence.
Considerations
Price:
The cost may be higher compared to conventionally sourced wasabi.
Minimum Order Quantity:
The minimum lot size for orders may be too large for smaller establishments.
Advanced Automation
This is a flexible section where you can share anything you want. It could be details or some information about feature three.
Pros

The ability to source premium wasabi of a stable, high quality year-round, unaffected by weather.
Freedom in Menu Development:
Access to not only the rhizome but also the uniquely flavored leaves and stems, stimulating creativity and allowing for product differentiation.

From Consumer
to Owner
Your Personal Wasabi Row in Kyoto
This is an invitation to go beyond the role of a consumer and form a direct connection with the source of your food. The Ownership Program allows you to become the owner of an entire cultivation row—approximately 200 plants—at our state-of-the-art farm. We handle the expert cultivation for one year, providing you with regular updates on its progress. At the end of the term, the entire harvest is yours to enjoy, gift, or use in your own culinary creations. Experience the pride and unparalleled taste of wasabi that you can truly call your own.
Pros and Cons
This is more than a product purchase; it’s an invitation to connect with the source of your food and experience the pride of wasabi you can truly call your own.
Considerations
Investment Cost:
The initial cost is higher than a simple product purchase.
Harvest Risk:
While extremely low with NBI’s controlled environment, the risk of harvest fluctuations due to unforeseen events is not zero.
Pros
Unique Experiential Value:
The one-of-a-kind, luxury experience of “growing your own wasabi.”
Access to Authenticity:
A direct connection to the producer and the ability to receive the freshest, most authentic wasabi immediately after harvest.
Gift Appeal:
The harvest can be used as a unique and high-end gift.
What Our Customers Say
Hear from our satisfied customers who have experienced the quality and value of our products and services.
“Watching my own wasabi grow is the ultimate luxury. The taste of the first harvest was simply incredible. It’s a wonderful program that lets you get your hands on a truly authentic product.”

Join Our Expansion Project
From Farmland to Space
Our investment opportunity is composed of two stages: first, the resolution of a tangible social issue with Kyoto’s idle farmland, and second, the challenge of a future frontier with food production in space.
Stage 1: Expansion in the Keihoku Area, Kyoto
First, we will utilize idle farmland in our home base of the Keihoku area, Kyoto, to expand our high-profit production hub using our proven Hybrid Farming Method and AI technology. This is a solid growth strategy that contributes to the local community and solves a challenge facing Japanese agriculture.
Stage 2: The Challenge of Space Agriculture — A Possibility Pioneered by NASA
Furthermore, we are turning our gaze toward space.
In fact, the aeroponics technology that forms the basis of our Fogponics system was once the focus of development by NASA for food production on long-duration space missions (space agriculture). Its overwhelming advantages were discovered through research into growing crops efficiently in zero gravity while minimizing the use of water and fertilizer.
We aim to further evolve this possibility, pioneered by NASA, by integrating it with our proprietary chiller system and AI predictive models. “Food” on lunar bases or during Mars exploration is a critical challenge for humanity’s expansion into space. NBI aims to provide the cultivation system we have perfected on Earth as a foundational technology to support life in space in the future.
