Pickled ginger madness

I have blogged about Yoshinoya some time back (make that last year... how time flies!) and was particularly engrossed in their pickled ginger which - as I learned from the comments to that post - was actually an appetizer.

But I got so hooked into the pickled ginger that I mix it up with my rice and beef gyudon! And that's not all. Officemate Francis also developed a taste for this appetizer; we'd dump generous amounts into our bowls.

Before:
After:
We consume almost half of a box of ginger after a meal!

I haven't seen this being sold in supermarts. Where o where can I buy some?!

  1. Keep eating ginger it is healthy!
    Just a bit surprised it has a red color.

    For over two thousand years Chinese Medicine has recommended ginger to treat a number of health problems including abdominal bloating, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and rheumatism. Ginger is also used in the Ayurvedic and Tibetan systems of medicine for the treatment of inflammatory joint diseases such as arthritis, rheumatism and a variety of other conditions.

  4. Sidney, thank you for this information!

    Iskoo, dalawa naman kami nyan :-)

    Alternati, actually it's more sour than hot when you eat it by itself. But when taken with rice and gyudon, it's great! We even add chili seasoning to make it spicy.

    Hi! Loved the Yoshinoya post. (gyudon junkie ini!) You can buy the pickled ginger (it's called benishoga or myoga in Nihongo) at Okame at Park Square II, the Japanese food section at Rustan's Fresh - Makati, or in the refrigerated case of any branch of Sakura.
