True wasabi is related to horseradish, but more refined in flavor. What most westerners have tasted that is called wasabi is actually horseradish with a bit of green food coloring.
Yes, it is very strong..... hot, aromatic and pungent. Do not try to eat it as the Frenchman in the movie does, until you have tried it diluted with soy sauce. It eat small amounts of it without diluting it, as he did..... but VERY small tastes. It is almost guaranteed to make your eyes water, even if hot peppers don't.
