Those are dyed, but they don't depend on the dye for nutrition or taste. Wasabi isn't less delicious if it's a lighter or different hue.

The saying goes you eat with your eyes. These things depend on dye as they rot on the shelf otherwise.

I mean … the pickled ginger served by my local Japanese sushi place is … well, the color of ginger (same shade as like a ginger beer) and it tastes fine to me?

They rot on the shelves ... when competitors can make their alternatives more flamboyant to stand out. Not if everyone stops needlessly coloring those foods.
