Cut ginger laid down in the jar with salted plums until it takes their red.

Obtaining

Usage

The red comes from the plum

The additive is salted plum. The sour liquor that rises off plums under salt is what turns the ginger red. It uses the same jar as the umeboshi brew, so it follows on from the plum season.

Scatter it on top

A little goes on rice bowls, fried noodles and batter dishes. It is usually the only red on the plate, so a small heap still reads.

In the real world

Beni shoga is ginger cut fine and pickled in umezu, the liquor that rises when plums are salted for umeboshi; red shiso turns it red. It garnishes beef bowls, fried noodles, okonomiyaki, takoyaki and Okinawa soba.

Differences in game

Satoyama keeps no separate umezu item; the salted plums themselves are the additive, and the salting-and-draining step is folded into the brew.
