Story
The story behind it
Kochi Prefecture is known for growing ginger. Shikoku Kensho's Bannou Okazu Shoga is Kochi-grown ginger, chopped and steeped in a sauce of soy sauce, sugar, salt and brown rice vinegar.
There is no grating or chopping to do. Take it out of the bag and use it as is. On rice it works as a side dish, and added to stir-fries or grilled dishes, the ginger and its sauce season the dish on their own.
It is made by Shikoku Kensho Co., Ltd. in Kochi, and is sold at the local airport, souvenir shops and online.
