That's already happening. Loads of wasabi for sale in the US is fake. How do I know that? I looked around. Usually it's way too cheap to be real. Horseradish isn't cheap but wasabi puts it to shame. My local supermarket sells what purports to be real wasabi but not in store only by shipping.
It's ~$9 for 2.5 ounces. And it's freeze dried and the label says 51% wasabi.
