Pickled Ginger with Regular Vinegar

Description

Suitable for both holidays and everyday meals. Ginger is used with sushi; it helps you appreciate the flavor of each type when you buy different kinds. That is, ginger is eaten between different types of sushi to clear the flavor of the previous type. It is tart and full-flavored, and not everyone likes that. But my recipe is for those who love ginger. There is no need to buy ready-made when you can easily make it yourself. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
