If you go to a proper sushi house in Japan, you would be seen as a common uneducated fool to mix your wasabi with soy sauce.
In the case of sushi - typically the wasabi is between the fish and rice - only in sushi where the chef deems it necessary. If not, it's not to be eaten with that particular piece of sushi. You pickup the sushi and turn it upside down and very lightly dip the fish part in the soy sauce, tiny bit.
With sashimi if it's served with wasabi, then yes - a tiny bit, then dip in soy sauce a tiny bit.
If they serve wasabi with everything, you're at a low class joint, the fish may not be great quality, the wasabi is probably coloured horseradish and you will want to eat it to mask the poor taste of fish.
