Makes me think of watercress. Are they related? Show most people this picture and I can't even imagine how few would guess right on what they were seeing.

Good guess! According to Wikipedia, both wasabi and watercress are members of the Brassicaceae family, which includes cabbages, horseradish, and mustard. Apparently watercress is one of the oldest known leaf vegetables consumed by human beings. Neato!
