All joking aside, I've never had real wasabi before, but I'd like to try it (and to try to grow it myself). I usually take the faux-wasabi straight up with my sashimi... not a lot mind you, but the thought of dipping a perfectly good piece of sashimi/sushi into the salt-bath that the soy sauce is just makes me convulse... Soy sauce has it's place, but I've never liked it with my sashimi...
