a dialogue from the korean grocer, the product in question www.amazon.com/Oroshi-Shoga-ginger-paste-tube/

couple: Oh, soy sauce. The way you use ginger is you mix it with soy sauce. Let's take this ginger home and mix it with soy sauce.

When I heard there would be a festival, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had no idea there...
