Pork Shogayaki or “buta no shogayaki” is a Japanese dish made out of grilled or fried pork flavoured with ginger. The name came from the words Shoga which means ginger and yaki which means grill or fry. This dish is the second most popular Japanese pork dish after tonkatsu. It is commonly served in bento boxes together with rice and shredded cabbage.

This is what I like with Japanese cuisine; their dishes look so minimalist but don’t be deceived with its looks. Though most of the dishes look really pretty and humble they do taste really good even better then fancy looking ones with complex sauces. This dish is one example; it may look like a simple stir fry but with the mirin, ginger and soy sauce its flavourful while not over powering the taste of pork.

Looks terrific. I am a novice at cooking Japanese food – there’s so much to learn. But this recipe is so simple, and the flavors are so straightforward. Really nice – thanks.
i love yummy pork tenderloin dishes. I’ve tried cooking beef with a similar sauce recipe and it came out great so I’d imagine this pork dish being super delicious. Can’t wait to give it try soon!
Raymund! Thanks for posting this! Been looking around for a good, simple Japanese dish to master, so this one came at the right place and the right time! Bookmarking this now!
Hi, just tried this recipe and I have to say mine taste a bit off. Perhaps its because I substituted grated ginger with fresh ginger juice instead, and the flavor itself lacks an umami touch, perhaps adding some brown sugar would help? Also to all those who are keen to try out this recipe please note that the ginger marinade may make your pork taste really, really stale (the texture is somewhat like pork liver), so if you are intending to marinade it for a long time a thicker cut or tougher pork parts would be better.
This looks fantastic! I have never made japanese food, but I think it is far past time that I tried
Looks delish! What I like about this is that it’s fairly fast to make and with ingredients that I always have on hand. A must try :).

Simple dishes are sometimes better than the pretty ones. Sounds great.

Yep, this will be Mr. N’s next favorite dinner! 🙂
Actually I have always preffered this to tonkatsu, and, let’s face it, it is way healthier too 🙂 !
Looks easy to prepare. But would it still be as good if I will substitute beef for the pork. I’m not a pork eater kasi.
Btw, i wish I could leave my comment as easy as in the previous platform.. WordPress now won’t accept if not thru FB. 🙁
Love the ginger with pork, it would make a nice BBQ marinade too

Yup adding brown sugar and using minced ginger would help. Also this is intended to be marinated quickly.
Delicious. We added some red pepper flakes. We will add this to our regular favorites!
