Condiment often faked with green dye in sushi restaurants (6)

I believe the answer is:

wasabi

(Other definitions for wasabi that I've seen before include "Hot Japanese paste" , "condiment? Japanese actually" , "Pungent green root, used in Japanese cooking" , "Hollyhock" , "Pungent green paste used in Japanese cuisine" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
