Beni Shoga

Beni Shoga is a thinly sliced, vinegared ginger product commonly served with sushi and other Japanese dishes; varieties include pale sweet gari and the red beni shōga used as a bright garnish. It’s enjoyed for its sharp, sweet-pickled flavor that cleanses the palate between bites. As a condiment, Beni Shoga is very low in calories and provides a small amount of fiber — about 2.6g per 100g — along with trace minerals such as manganese and vitamin B6. Because it’s used in small amounts to add strong flavor, it’s a convenient way to brighten dishes while contributing modest micronutrients and dietary fiber.
