it's probably just horseradish and mustard flour https://www.makesushi.com/real-wasabi-paste/
Yes technically it’s not real wasabi.

In the US, fake foods are often preferred over their authentic originals.
I just meant that whatever memory benefits there may be from actual wasabi won't apply to fake wasabi.
