Pickled ginger is called gari or amazu shoga in Japanese. It's served with sushi or sashimi and helps enhance the flavors and clear your taste buds. It's also great with Century Eggs, a Chinese delicacy. You can find prepared pickled ginger in pink or white at most Asian markets but I prefer to make my own and share with family and friends.
