Not to mention an awesome head rush.
@Nonog Unfortunately, this is the "real" wasabi, and nearly all the wasabi you get in the world is a surrogate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasabi#Surrogates
Only one time did I have the real thing, in a tiny dumpling bar on the Lower East Side (it wasn't even that expensive). It was very good, not even much better than the surrogate, but a different taste - it was a chopped herb in sauce, not a paste.
I've never seen it for sale in a store but apparently they also grow it in here in the Netherlands!
