the much more common 音译 is 瓦萨比 (you can even input it in a pinyin IME, unlike 哇沙比). Baidu gives 124,000个 hits for 瓦萨比 and only 19,200个 for 哇沙比. G hits are about the same, but we all know that Google is mostly used by non-PRC Chinese speakers

the 沙 in 哇沙比 kinda gives it away as TW specific, since they don't really distinguish between sh/s over there. washabi would sound really 别扭 in the north. but anyway:
"哇沙比" site:cn 82,200 result
"哇沙比" site:tw 354,000 results
