This has been a subject of discussion in the alt.food.sushi newsgroup
in the past, and even recently. I think that there were some producers
in Washington or Oregon, and IIRC, there was a commercial grower in
Australia. Wasabi is apparently a very hard thing to grow, as it usually
requires running water.
Those interested should go to dejanews and lookup "wasabi" posts in the
alt.food.sushi newsgroup.
