NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Beni shoga |
 | | Beni shōga is not the pickled ginger served with sushi, which is called gari. |
 | | In the jargon of sushi restaurants, beni shoga is called “gari.” There are a few theories as to the origin of the word “gari.” Some say that beni shoga was called gari because of its “gari-gari” (crunchy) texture. |
 | | Besides being an accompaniment to sushi, beni shoga is used as a condiment in various other dishes such as takoyaki (octopus dumpling), okonomiyaki (Japanese style pizza), beef bowl, yakisoba (pan-fried noodles), tempura (battered and deep-fried vegetables and shrimp), fried rice, and ramen (Chinese noodle soup). |
