Making ginger in beautiful nature
Shimanto Town, Kochi Prefecture is blessed with mountains, rivers, and beautiful nature. Mayo Hayashi, a producer of ginger used in ginger syrup, started farming in this area after being involved in work to promote organic agriculture in Asia and Africa. To prepare the soil in the fields, rice bran, handmade blurs, chicken manure, etc. are used to grow vegetables that do not rely on pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
Fragrant parent ginger
For ginger syrup, we use "parent ginger".
Parent ginger is ginger that has been planted and harvested as seed ginger.
The harvest is small and is not often available in general, but it is characterized by its lack of moisture and fibrousness, which has a strong flavor and pungency.
Originally, it was inexpensive and was often used for processing, but this parent ginger has become an important part of improving the aroma of ginger syrup.
Arrange a recipe from a ginger farmer in Kochi
We inherited the ginger syrup recipe made by the ginger farmer "Sato Veggie Farm" in Kochi Prefecture, and added a new arrangement to complete it.
Two types of spices (cardamom and black pepper) selected during repeated trial production were used to create a deeper taste.
