Izumo Ginger
When you hear the word ginger, you probably wouldn't expect there to be a traditional variety known as a 'phantom.' 'Izushi Ginger,' passed down in the Izushi district of Hikawa Town, Izumo City, is a traditional variety said to grow only in a very limited area along the Hiikawa River, which flows into Lake Shinji. It is characterized by its low fiber, tenderness, rich aroma, and a sharp, pungent spiciness. It is a prestigious ginger that is said to have once been presented as an offering to feudal lords. It carries a unique flavor born from this specific land, where the wind known as 'Hiikawa Oroshi' blows and there are significant temperature fluctuations. Due to pressure from cheaper products from other regions, the number of producing farmers has slightly decreased, making its rarity even more precious. Processed products such as ginger sugar and syrups are also popular; once you take a bite, a refreshing aroma gently spreads through your mouth.
