SHOGA Soft Chips (premium ginger glace)

Interior Content: 60g (2.12oz) - 30g x 2 packs

These SHOGA Soft Chips are made entirely of ginger and sugar. Ginger has long been cherished in Japan for its positive health benefits. It contains nearly 400 natural chemical compounds and has been consumed for its ability to warm the body and cause perspiration, making it effective for treating colds.

Ginger is the best food for summer, when the body is prone to poor physical condition, because it stimulates sweating, allowing excess heat to be released from the body. It is also suitable for winter because it has a warming effect on the body, making it a versatile food for all seasons.

The ginger used is from Miyazaki Prefecture. Grown mainly in sandy soil, Miyazaki, known for its mild climate, is one of the leading ginger growing areas in Japan.

The ginger is soaked in a sugar-dense mixture, gradually raising its sugar content over a period of 4 days, before turning it into a glace. It is then cut into thin slices, and thoroughly dried, resulting in a glace with an excellent texture while still retaining the spicy ginger flavor.

The spicy flavor of ginger is sure to be addictive and goes perfectly with green tea.
