Yatsushiro Ginger

A fresh, clear aroma rises the moment it is grated. Yatsushito's ginger has a beautiful luster, and when tasted, its spiciness is mild, leaving a gentle aftertaste. Kumamoto Prefecture is one of the largest ginger-producing regions in Japan, second only to Kochi, with the Yatsushiro area accounting for approximately forty percent of that production. A key strength is the ability to ship high-quality ginger year-round by growing it in mountain valleys and storing it in caves dug into tuff geological layers. Its excellent flavor and neat appearance, free from bruising, have earned it registration as a Geographical Indication. As a condiment, it sharpens the flavors of a dish; when grated and dissolved in hot water, it warms you to the core. Because it is not overly spicy, it acts as a reliable partner for skilled cooks, complementing the ingredients perfectly.
