I grew a few plants a couple of years ago after getting some info from a Japanese friend that it can help with the ailments of chemo as my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She immediately felt better and had more energy. It's not very common in the states as it normally grows in Japan and is very popular there. The Japanese community has been drinking it in tea for it's medicinal uses for thousands of years. I planted a good amount of spare seeds and they will be ready to ship in a month or so.
If you want to reserve a plant or 2 they will be $10 each or trade for peppers sauces / powders etc. Just seeing if anyone wants any before I contact the local nursery's to get rid of the spare plants I won't have room to grow.
BTW the powder for tea is being sold for $43 for 100g so it is pretty expensive.
