Condiment with a kick (6)

I believe the answer is:

wasabi

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
