Shirakiku Shoyu Pickled Garlic is a traditional Japanese-style preserved garlic product also known as "ninniku zuke" featuring whole peeled garlic cloves pickled in a savory soy sauce-based brine. This ready-to-eat condiment offers a rich umami flavor from the shoyu (soy sauce) marinade combined with the mellow sweetness of pickled garlic. Popular in Hawaiian cuisine and Japanese cooking, these pickled garlic cloves make an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, rice bowls, stir-fries, and traditional Japanese dishes.

The garlic has been cured through a traditional pickling process that mellows its natural sharpness while infusing it with deep savory notes from the soy sauce, vinegar, and sweetener brine. Each 16-ounce package provides a generous supply of this versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed directly as a side dish, chopped into salads, or used as a flavor enhancer in various Asian-inspired recipes. The product is shelf-stable when sealed and should be refrigerated after opening for optimal freshness.
