While ginger can have a spicy kick, this golden miso pickled ginger is made from carefully selected Thai ginger that is marinated in miso three times, resulting in a milder spice, slight sweetness and rich umami. The whole ginger is used to enhance the flavors. 

Echigo Miso Nishi has been producing miso and soy sauce products since its establishment almost 200 years ago in 1831. With a goal of preserving the tastes of the past, these golden miso pickles are marinated in sankai-bushi miso, a regional miso made using special soybeans and Koshihikari rice from Niigata Prefecture. Made by the hands of locals, these pickles lovingly embody the climate and nature of Kashiwazaki City in Niigata.

Suggested uses: Slice, julienne or chop before using and enjoy along with the miso in the package. Enjoy as is, on rice, in grilled onigiri (rice balls), in white/cheese sauces or milk based soups along with the miso in the package.
