I had a sushi vegetable roll at a restaurant, and when I asked what the pink stuff in it was, the waitress, who had a Russian-sounding accent and was somewhat hard to understand, asked the sushi-chef for me. She came back and said it was a Japanese vegetable called something like "kush-kush".

Anyone know what this could have been? It tasted sweet. It was very different from the pink ginger on the side.


Update: From what I've looked up so far, the word most likely must have been "oshinko", Japanese for "picked vegetables". I'm still not sure what kind of vegetable it was; perhaps pink pickled garlic. The texture was soft and somewhat gelatinous, and the flavor was light and sweet (I was worried it might be some kind of raw fish, but it did not taste fishy). The yellow crunchy stuff must have been takuan (daikon pickled with turmeric).
