If you are in the USA, you can buy benishoga (beni=red, shoga=ginger) online at Japan Super. They carry whole, sliced and slivered red ginger, as well as the pink and white ones. Look under the Sushi category, then under Ginger.

They don’t have any photos of the products (as they are waiting on the new product graphics, I was told) but I buy it from them and I know that this is what you are looking for. They come in small plastic cups.
