The wasabi and the soy sauce are meant to enhance the flavour of the fish, which should be as fresh as possible.

While wasabi may not necessarily be worth its weight in gold, it is referred to by the Japanese as the “spice of kings.” Euphemisms aside, fake wasabi costs about $100 per pound (around 500g).

Soy sauce mixed with wasabi on beef steak is very good, for example.

 Wasabi Brothers Mangajin Archives: Wasabi
Although grated wasabi was enjoyed early on as a condiment with both grilled and raw fish, and also with buckwheat noodles, its real fame within Japanese cuisine can be traced to the development and popularity of nigiri-zushi during the early part of the 19th century.
Actually, trade sources estimate that only five percent of sushi shops in Japan use fresh wasabi, but even if the wasabi is powdered, adding too much to sushi, sashimi, or any food for that matter overwhelms the flavor of the main item, and may be considered an affront to the culinary skills of the chef.
For wasabi to thrive it must be constantly bathed in pristine, chilly water with just the right mineral balance.

Traditionally the primary use of wasabi is as a condiment for use with Japanese dishes such as Sushi, Sushimi and Soba dishes, and also with raw fish.
However, we have found that the use of wasabi extends beyond the scope of these traditional dishes.

 Death by Wasabi
Both of us are quite voracious wasabi eaters to begin with, him slightly more so than I, and we tend to eat even more wasabi when we have sushi together due to a sort of unspoken competition between us to see who can stand the most pain.
It turns out that although Jamie brags of eating lots of wasabi, and has been dared to eat that much wasabi much in the same way he had dared me, he hadn't actually *done* it before.
It you eat a whole chunk of it, as we did, all by itself with no rice to cushion it, it sits and slowly eats through the walls of your stomach.

As much of a heat-freak as I am (spicy), I usually don’t use wasabi at sushi bars, simply because I love the taste and smell of the fish.

 Wasabi Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
Despite the title, "Wasabi" is not as hot and spicy as one would expect.
This French-Japanese dish is nowhere near as tasty as Besson's better films, though it does end up being a decent action comedy, light on the former, and okay on the latter.
Another one of his recent efforts is the 2001 French-Japanese co-production "Wasabi (La petite moutarde qui monte au nez)", which was released on Hong Kong-import VCD and DVD this past week (though the DVD says region 3, it is actually multi-region).

 WASABI!!!
The most popular were Wasabi (after the beer commercial where one of the "Wazzup!" guys goes to a Japanese restaurant and finds the word "wasabi", or "wasaaaaaaaabi!" amusing), and Spanish.
Though Wasabi is simpler than, say, English, and though it does share a lot of features in common with other pidgins and creoles, I don't think that saying it's attempting to be more or less like a prototypical pidgin would be of any interest at all.
In the end, though, when the hands were counted, Wasabi won out, and so the name of the language became Wasabi, even though, as I mentioned before, the phonology of Wasabi contains no phoneme /b/.
