"Wasabi is not hot, if..."

I just tried a piece of chili cherry dark chocolate, and a Japanese co-worker who didn't like hot flavors, and thus the chocolate because it had hot chilies in it said:

"Wasabi is not hot."

 We were surprised, as he certainly had wasabi before.  We asked him to clarify.


"if chili is defined as hot, wasabi is a different sensation."

I asked if it's because of the way wasabi attacks the senses, and he affirmed the distinction.  I've then concluded this:

Wasabi is not hot, it's malicious.
