Just know you'll never get real wasabi, except in the highest end places in Japan and probably still special order. The stuff we get is fake.

Folks on the Oregon coast are growing wasabi successfully now, it's much more available in the US than it used to be.

This is an atrocity. Oregon is the state for growing Oregano, no other herbs.

I'm growing wasabi in pots right now. Turns out it's not as difficult to grow as everyone always said. It is a bit finicky but not that hard.

If you eat the leaves, could you tell me how good they are? I'm also considering it, but it seems that's a 2 year endeavor to finally get some rhizomes..

Not really. Most sushi places have them (not kaitenzushi), some bbq place do too and you can buy it at the supermarket:
