Oroshi Shouga(oroshi shōga)

Oroshi shōga refers to grated fresh ginger, which is commonly used as a seasoning in Japanese cuisine. Fresh ginger (生姜 shōga) is grated (おろし oroshi) and used as a garnish or seasoning for various dishes, including tofu, sashimi, and noodle dishes. The grated ginger gives the dishes a sharp, aromatic profile and is valued for its health benefits, such as promoting digestion and improving circulation.

Grated ginger is often sold in tubes that are easy to use and store. It can also be freshly grated and frozen in small quantities to facilitate handling. In addition to its use in savory dishes, grated ginger can also be used to make teas and syrups, which are particularly popular during the winter months.
