    • Iconic Kyoto Delicacy: Shiba-zuke is a famous specialty of Kyoto, prized for its beautiful color and refreshing, acidic taste.

    • Natural Purple Hue: The striking color is achieved naturally through the reaction of red shiso leaves and eggplant during the pickling process—a sign of authentic, quality preparation.

    • Complex Taste & Texture: Combines the crunchy texture of cucumber and eggplant with the complex salty, sour, and mildly pungent flavor derived from umezu (plum vinegar) and shiso.

    • Naturally Fermented: Traditionally made through lactic acid fermentation, providing beneficial probiotics that aid digestion and promote gut health.

    • Perfect with Rice: Its intense savory and tart flavor makes it the perfect accompaniment to plain steamed rice, where it balances the subtle sweetness of the grain.

    Product detailed description

    Shiba-zuke is a relish-style pickle made from finely chopped summer vegetables, primarily cucumber and eggplant, along with aromatic additions like myoga (Japanese ginger) and ginger. What sets it apart is the use of red shiso leaves and umezu (ume plum vinegar), which infuse the vegetables with a vivid purple color and a distinctive, refreshing sourness.

    As one of Kyoto’s most beloved tsukemono, Shiba-zuke is traditionally enjoyed as a side dish to balance the flavors of the main meal. Its salty, refreshing, and crisp profile is not only delicious but also contributes to a healthy, balanced diet.

     

    Suggested Use

     

    • Side Dish (Tsukemono): Served with white rice or as a side dish in traditional Japanese meals.

    • Ochazuke Topping: A popular ingredient for Ochazuke (rice with hot green tea or dashi poured over it).

    • Flavor Accent: Use as a tangy, colorful garnish on fried rice or rice bowls.

    • Modern Twist: Chop it finely and mix it into tartar sauce or sprinkle it over simple pasta dishes for a Japanese twist.
