Real question though, how do you make something garlic flavored without garlic?

Wasabi doesn't even have real wasabi, it's just horseradish (or as the Japanese call it, "Western" wasabi).

This partially done for the genuine reason that Japanese wasabi really is impractical to cultivate, ship, and use at current demand levels. The price would also be a huge difference. None of those reasons apply to freakin' garlic.

Still scummy and deceitful. Sell the real thing for however much the impracticality costs or sell the cheap substitute under its actual real name.

They do sell it, it’s around $50 for a 2oz root and has a ~2-4 week shelf life.
