About Jun
Jun is the own-label range of Jun Pacific Corporation, the Sydney-based Japanese food wholesaler established in 1991, whose retail story began when Tokyo Mart opened in Northbridge in 1976. The Jun range covers the everyday Japanese kitchen staples — pickles, seaweed, sesame, starches and noodles.
What beni shoga is
Beni shoga (紅しょうが) is Japan's sharp red pickled ginger, cut into thin strips. It is a different thing from the pale-pink amazu shoga (gari) served alongside sushi: beni shoga is the saltier, sharper one, and it belongs on hot savoury dishes rather than being eaten between pieces of fish.
How to use & enjoy
Beni shoga is a garnish rather than something eaten on its own — a small pile added on top of or beside a finished dish, where its tang cuts through richer, savoury flavours. It is a standard topping for okonomiyaki and yakisoba, is added to takoyaki as a filling or a garnish, and is piled onto gyudon beef rice bowls and ramen.
