Stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
If desired, fold in the finely chopped green onions for added texture and a subtle onion flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the wasabi dip chilled with sushi, raw vegetables, chips, crackers, or seafood.
