GINGER

Kochi is known for its mellow ginger, which is grown along the Shimanto, Monobe, and Nioyodo rivers.

KOCHI SPECIALS

The mild, humid climate gives Kochi the conditions necessary to be Japan's largest ginger producer. Kochi is responsible for about 40 percent of domestic ginger production, mainly grown along the Shimanto, Monobe, and Nioyodo rivers. Ginger is harvested from October to November, then stored carefully in temperature and humidity-controlled conditions, allowing it to develop a rich flavor and mellow heat. Kochi ginger is ideal for pickling, cooking, and use as a condiment.
