I’ve noticed at the last two places I’ve gotten wasabi with my meal from that the wasabi is weak. I remember in the past, if I ate some wasabi directly, I’d feel the place it first hit my tongue for like 20 seconds after. The last two times, I didn’t detect any spice at all, even eating it directly.
Hope this is just a local trend and you’re talking about weak spicy mayo or something.
This is what you have to say to get mild spice in Japan.

I’m not talking about wasabi, wasabi is its own thing, its weird that we even use the same word to refer to both wasabi and chili peppers.
There’s still sushi places that put absurd amounts of wasabi in the sushi.
And you still just get mildly spicy mayonnaise.
