Unfortunately most store bought pickled ginger use preservatives. I heard that you can make your own by boiling till just soft thinly sliced ginger, and then pickling it in a sugared vinegar mixture. I have no idea what the recipe for the sugared vinegar might be other than to create a blend to taste.

What do you think?

Buy a nice plump knob of ginger-wash, peel & slice very thinly (I use a food processor) Sprinkle with a t. of salt and let sit for 30 mins. To make the brine, boil 1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar & sugar to taste- start with 1/4 cup. Put ginger in suitable container and pour boiling liquid over. Let cool, store in frig - after about a week it will turn pink. If it doesn't, your ginger is old, but still edible. If you want, you can boil the root first, etc. but I like the above method better. ~Rita

You can definitely make your own.  Alton Brown did it.

the sushi ginger is great if you have a bad stomach. It is an old world remedy and works great.
