Distributed nationwide by Gunma Halal Food, this 250g pack of fresh Finger Root (Krachai / カシュウショウガ) is carefully harvested and packed fresh—offering an essential aromatic rhizome for traditional Thai red curries, Kanom Jeen Nam Ya (fish curry sauce), Indonesian Jamu, and savory stir-fries.
Finger Root (フィンガールート / Krachai / ケーラ・チャイ / Boesenbergia rotunda), named for its slender, finger-like cluster of golden-brown rhizomes, is a signature aromatic root in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly across Thailand and Indonesia. Known for its distinctively sharp, aromatic, and slightly camphoraceous ginger-citrus flavor, Krachai is essential for neutralizing fishy odors in seafood dishes while infusing curries with a bright, herbal depth.
Beyond its crucial role in traditional dishes like Thai Nam Ya curry paste and Pad Char (spicy seafood stir-fry), Finger Root is celebrated in traditional wellness for its potent digestive, anti-inflammatory, and revitalizing properties. Finding fresh, high-quality Krachai in regular Japanese supermarkets is difficult.
