Answers:
When I lived in Japan, I found out that they eat slices of the ginger between different types of sushi to clear their palate (take the taste of the last piece of sushi off of their tastebuds)!. Try it sometime, after you have one type of sushi, before you switch to another kind!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is pickled ginger, it is meant to cleanse the taste buds for the next course!.!.!.

It is ginger, it comes in either crystalized or pickeled form!. Pickled being the most traditional!. I would like to say though!.!.!.IT IS NOT EATEN WITH THE SUSHI, it is eaten when you change between styles of sushi or different fish!. It is a palet cleanser!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's slices of ginger!. I guess if you like ginger you can put it w/your sushi and eat it together!. I personally am not a fan of ginger, so I just leave it in the container!.!.!.lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

Its ginger!. It can either be crystallized or fresh!. Its really a palate cleanser, eat a piece before you have a different kind of sushi!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
