The green paste most people consider wasabi in sushi restaurants is often not real wasabi. 
Over 95% of the wasabi they serve does not contain real wasabi. Instead, the paste is a mixture of horseradish, mustard, and food coloring. 
Real wasabi, which is grated from a root, is much more expensive and has a more complex, less pungent flavor.
