Ezitolo zokudlela zaseJapan, ungabona i-beni shōga yamahhala (ebomvu)ijinja eqoshiweimichilo) ibekwe etafuleni, futhi ezindaweni zokudlela ze-sushi, kukhona esinye isidlo esiseceleni esinojinja esibizwa ngokuthi i-gari.
Kungani ibizwa ngokuthi “i-gari”?
Akuzona nje izitolo ze-sushi — uma uthenga i-sushi ezitolo ezinkulu kulo lonke elaseJapan, ivame ukuza nalezi zingcezu zejinja. Kulezi zimo, zinegama elithile: i-gari, ngokuvamile ebhalwe ngo-kana (ガリ). Igama elithi “Gari” igama elivamile le-sweetijinja eqoshiwe(amazu shōga) ekhonzwa ezindaweni zokudlela ze-sushi. Leli gama livela ku-onomatopoeia yesiJapane ethi “gari-gari”, echaza umsindo oqinile lapho kuhlafunwa ukudla okuqinile. Njengoba ukudla lezi zingcezu zejinja kukhiqiza lowo msindo ofanayo “we-gari-gari”, abantu baqala ukuzibiza ngokuthi “i-gari.” Abapheki be-sushi bamukela leli gama, futhi ekugcineni laba igama elijwayelekile lesidlaliso.
Kuthiwa isiko lokudla i-gari ne-sushi lisukela enkathini ephakathi ne-Edo eJapane. Ngaleso sikhathi, izindawo zokuthengisa emigwaqweni ezithengisa i-Edomae-zushi (i-sushi ecindezelwe ngesandla) zazithandwa kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ubuchwepheshe bokuqandisa babungakathuthukiswa, ngakho ukudla izinhlanzi ezingaphekiwe kwakunengozi yangempela yokuba noshevu ekudleni. Ukuze kuvikelwe lokhu, abanikazi bezitolo baqala ukukhonza izingcezu ezincane ze-ginger efakwe kuviniga omnandi kanye ne-sushi, njengoba i-ginger efakwe ku-pickle inezakhiwo zokulwa namagciwane kanye nokuqeda iphunga.
Ngisho nanamuhla, abantu baseJapan bakholelwa ukuthi ukudla i-gari ne-sushi — njengokusebenzisa i-wasabi — kusiza ukubulala amagciwane futhi kunciphise ingozi yezifo ezibangelwa ukudla.
Uviniga omnandi-ijinja eqoshiweinokwakheka okuthambile kodwa okuqinile, ibhalansi emnandi nebabayo, kanye nokunambitheka okuncane kuphela. Lokhu kuyenza ibe yinhle kakhulu ekuhlanzeni ulwanga phakathi kokulunywa yizinhlanzi, ivuselele isifiso sokudla, futhi ivuselele ama-nambitheka - ngaphandle kokucindezela i-sushi uqobo. I-gari engcono kakhulu yenziwe nge-ginger encane (shin-shōga), ehlutshiwe, inqunywe kancane eceleni kwemicu, ifakwe usawoti omncane, i-blanched ukuze inciphise ukushisa kwayo, bese ifakwa ku-vinegar, ushukela, namanzi. Le nqubo - esasetshenziswa abakhiqizi abaningi bezobuciko namuhla - inikeza i-gari esezingeni eliphezulu umbala wayo okhanyayo opinki kanye nokuqhekeka okuthambile.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, i-beni shōga (imichilo ebomvu yejinja efakwe usawoti) yenziwe ngejinja evuthiwe, ifakwe ujusi, ifakwe usawoti, bese ifakwe ujusi we-perilla (shiso) noma uviniga weplamu (umezu), okwenza ibe nombala obomvu ocacile kanye nokuluma okunongwe kakhulu. Lokho kunambitheka okunamandla kuhambisana kahle ne-gyūdon (izitsha zenyama yenkomo), i-takoyaki, noma i-yakisoba, lapho inquma khona ukunotha futhi ivuselele ulwanga.
