Japanese Pickled Vegetables

Japanese Pickled Vegetables

Everyday

Japanese pickled vegetables, known as tsukemono, are traditional fermented or vinegar-preserved vegetables that serve as essential accompaniments in Japanese cuisine. These pickles are made using various methods including salt, rice bran (nukadoko), sake lees (kasuzuke), or vinegar preservation, creating distinct flavors ranging from crisp and salty to tangy and umami-rich. While providing probiotics and dietary fiber, these preserved vegetables are typically high in sodium and are traditionally served in small portions as palate cleansers or side dishes.
