White pickled ginger is crispy thin slices of ginger root with a spicy-sweet taste. Thanks to the marinade, ginger loses its inherent excessive bitterness. It is used as a mandatory ingredient for sushi, rolls, and sashimi. Pickled ginger serves as a natural disinfectant when eating raw fish dishes.
But few people know that its main function – it is a cleaning of the taste buds of the oral cavity between different types of sushi, rolls, and sashimi. In this way, the taste of each individual species is felt more clearly and distinctly. Pickled ginger is also used as an additional ingredient in rice, noodle, and seafood dishes. It gives dishes an additional taste palette.
The marinade that remains after using the ginger can be used to marinate eggs, which are served with the traditional Japanese ramen soup, and as an ingredient to prepare various sauces.
