Why is the wasabi green powder not hot?

I ordered a 1/2 lb of wasabi green powder expecting it to take your breath away mixed with soy sauce and water and after recieving I am really dissapointed. I have tasted it straight and mixed with soy sauce and it is has no burning sensation at all. Whats wrong?

    There are a number of potential reasons.

    1. It isn't wasabi powder at all. Coloured cornflour looks exactly the same. :(

    2. The powder is old.

    3. The powder hasn't been stored properly. It really needs to be stored on a freezer.

    4. You need to add cold water and let it stand for 5 minutes before mixing it with soy sauce.

    5. The stuff you got wasn't Namida Wasabi Powder. This is 100% Pure Wasabia japonica rhizome powder and does knock your socks off.
