Oops! at the Sushi Restaurant

We were so excited to find this 100¥ revolving sushi restaurant, that we had eaten at four years ago in Alex's birthplace of Mishima city.  The soy sauce plates and chopsticks were on the table when we sat down and we were looking for the wasabi.  We saw this container, above and Alex started to put some green matter in his soy sauce.  It floated on top and we all thought that was odd, but continued to put some in each of our soy sauce plates ready to eat some sushi.  We were so hungry so we started eating and dipping our sushi into our plates.
Some time went by, and we realized above our table on a counter were some cups and a place where we could get hot water.  I looked around trying to see what others were doing with the hot water.  An older lady sitting at the table over, took the above canister and put some in a cup and used the hot water to fill her cup.
It dawned on me that this is NOT wasabi, but green tea powder!  I told the family and we started laughing and said, "Oh, well!" Now we know, the next time we go to eat at this restaurant.
