I buy those in Japanese grocery stores all the time, and first found them in a candy store in Kyoto. Trader Joe's might have tweaked the recipe slightly, but "ginger pinches" are quite authentically Japanese.<BR/><BR/>The best ones are very small and thin; sadly, the import brand that's the right size is rarely as fresh and crisp as it should be, so the TJ brand might be a good alternative.<BR/><BR/>-jAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975559754881811673.post-89173274737905519962009-03-18T19:10:00.000-07:002009-03-18T19:10:00.000-07:00Oh, those are delicious!
