What is the purpose of pickled ginger for sushi?

by


Most people enjoy pickled ginger when eating sushi. It is a regular accompaniment on the sushi plate.

In Japan, ginger is a staple in the Japanese kitchen, much like salt and pepper in Danish cuisine.

Thousands of years ago, the Japanese began pickling ginger. At that time, refrigerators did not exist, and pickling was the best way to preserve vitamins and extend shelf life.

However, it is not a must to eat ginger between sushi pieces.

by


Japanese children are being bottled up with fish. It’s quite literal.
In Denmark, Danish children learn to eat moss and oatmeal at an early age. Healthy and nutritious food. Most people eat oatmeal to some extent for the rest of their lives.

In Japan, children also learn to eat a kind of porridge. The Japanese porridge differs in that fish is added. No, it is not fish pieces that are immediately the first thought. The porridge is supplemented with fish stock, a fish stock that both tastes and smells of fish. In this way, the children learn to eat fish quietly.

When the Japanese children are a little older, it will often be salmon that they prefer. The older they get and their taste buds develop, the more fish they learn to eat with great pleasure.
