マスタード usually refers to milder, Western-style mustard (often yellow or Dijon). 練り辛子 can be used for both Japanese and Western mustard, but often implies a spicier, more pungent paste.
Compound of 練り (kneaded, from 練る 'to knead') and 辛子 (mustard). The term describes mustard that has been ground and mixed into a paste.
