Gari
is a type of tsukemono (pickled vegetables). It is sweet,
thinly sliced young ginger that has been marinated inside
a solution of sugar and vinegar. Gari is often served and
eaten with sushi, and is sometimes called sushi ginger.
Although many brands of commercially produced gari are colored
to promote sales, the actual pickle is naturally pink in
colour. This is likely the result of chemical compounds
inside the ginger reacting or denaturing due to the added
vinegar, thus creating a red color.
Gari is usually eaten between dishes of sushi, as it is
said to help cleanse the palate.
