  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).

Others say that beni shoga was named gari due to the “gari-gari” (rasping) sound it makes when sliced with a knife.
When eating dishes with strong flavors like beef bowl, yakisoba or ramen, beni shoga is a perfect flavorful counterpoint to enjoy with your meal.
