Answer 5

What is Wasabi?

wasabi, or Eutrema japonica) is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which includes cabbages, horseradish and mustard. Known as "Japanese horseradish", its root is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard than the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapors that irritate the nasal passages more than the tongue.

So a substitue would be either, Horseradish (add vinegar to make hotter) or Chinese Mustard.  Your choice.
