Fukujinzuke (pickled vegetable mix)
Code: YTK193

Product detailed description
Fukujinzuke is a popular Japanese pickle that combines a colorful array of finely chopped vegetables—traditionally including daikon, cucumber, eggplant, and lotus root—marinated in a sweet and savory soy sauce-based brine. Unlike many other tsukemono, Fukujinzuke is typically not lacto-fermented, allowing the clean, sweet-savory flavor of the seasoning to shine.
Known for its signature crunchy texture and bright red or brown color, it serves as an excellent palate cleanser. A spoonful of Fukujinzuke provides a delicious contrast of sweetness and tartness that cuts through heavy, rich dishes like Japanese curry, making it a beloved staple in homes and restaurants across Japan.
