What is Sushi ginger?
Sushi ginger, known in Japanese as gari, consists of thinly sliced ginger pickled in a sweet-and-sour brine. In Japanese restaurants, it is traditionally served as an accompaniment to Sushi. It should not be placed directly on top of the Sushi, but is eaten between different varieties to refresh the palate.
Why is Sushi ginger pink?
The pink colour is typical of many commercially available varieties of sushi ginger. It gives it the distinctive appearance familiar from sushi restaurants. The flavour remains sweet and tangy, mild and slightly spicy.
The ginger has a fresh, slightly spicy flavour, yet is pleasantly sweet and tangy at the same time. Pickling significantly tones down the ginger’s natural spiciness. This means it complements the flavour of Sushi and rice dishes without overpowering the other ingredients.
What can I use sushi ginger for?
As well as Sushi and sashimi, pickled ginger also goes well with poke bowls, Onigiri, rice dishes and Asian starters. Finely chopped, it can also add flavour to salads, dips, marinades or sandwiches. Its fresh tang provides a nice contrast to rich or strongly spiced dishes.
How do I serve Sushi ginger?
The Sushi ginger is ready to eat and can be served straight from the packet. If necessary, let it drain briefly and arrange a small amount alongside Sushi, sashimi or rice dishes. Due to its intense flavour, a few slices per portion are usually sufficient.

How do I store the pickled ginger?
Before opening, Sushi ginger should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, it should be kept in the fridge. Make sure the ginger remains covered by the brine as much as possible, and follow the instructions on the packaging.
