Kyoto’s Famous Pickled Vegetables Tsukemono | What to Buy in Japan

[@lexcox4428]

I Love you two and since quarantine, I have been learning to ferment. I just started a Nukadoko yesterday, and am so excited to try new ferments. I am dying to go to Japan to eat and see everything, and talk to everyone willing to talk to me!

[@ima7333]

I can imagine the daikon pickle w/ yuzu. That must be super tasty

[@sarahsullivan1235]

I cannot wait until I am in Japan in October! So excited for all of the pickled veg 😍

[@vestysteiner9480]

Happy birthday Shinichi-san! Tanjyoubi omedetou gozaimasu!

[@cvodb]

Wow, the colours of that yuba!

[@sanseijedi]

My wife will be in Kyoto in February for the Ikenobo World Seminar for a couple of weeks of hands-on ikebana workshops. She tells me she has no interest in tsukemono. :( Even though I am not accompanying her, I watch all your videos because they are entertaining, calming and charming. I wish you both well.

[@edgeyberzerker]

Thank you for enlightening me on these! I will have to try more pickled veggies

[@erinuber2881]

Hello Shinichi and Satoshi! These are great treats from Kyoto! I wish I could try every single thing! A couple of years ago, I watched a documentary about a small shop that makes senmai zuke, and how they do it. They gave it so much special care. I would especially love to taste it! I hope you will go back to Kyoto one day. I think that's a great idea. Thanks for the video!

[@lioness77alfar]

Love all your videos... Love you both

[@colettekinoshita8293]

That red furikake is amazing. We buy a big stash whenever we're in Kyoto. Unfortunately it doesn't have a long shelf life so we've been refrigerating our bags. It seems to last longer that way. We've been using it in our spam musubi's too.

[@purberri]

One of my favorite things to buy in Kyoto love the pickles

[@Richhookspin]

Wow this was an impressive feast. I find these types of foods fascinating. It looks like so much fun.

[@esther848]

Hello Shinichi and Satoshi. The pickles look so delicious. I want to try them😋. I enjoy the foodrevieuws so much. Thanks for sharing.

[@Cutie_Chik]

I really loved this video. As I like eating pickled items with white rice. I’m going to be searching for some of these 😁

[@karenagbayani1816]

Love, love, love tsukemono! Hopefully, I can make it to Japan in 2020!

[@anita5050]

LOVED this video. I have yet to discover the breadth of tsukemono out there. Keep it coming!

[@AxolotlCries]

I'm so glad that Satoshi mentioned about his research eating senmai zuke with prociutto! Although I've never tried that combination, nor have I had actual senmai zuke (only regular pickled sliced daikon haha) I have had it paired like a sandwich with Korean-style smoked duck! Highly reccommended!! :))

[@ladymurasaki370]

All looked delicious 😋😋 😋! I probably would like all of it! 😋

[@mickeyd8898]

I love pickled veggies, but I had to make the anchovy ....thank you Pinterest 😉 it’s delicious!!! Will get me some daikon and try the others. Thank you for all the new veggies to explore ❤️

[@ajadegirl]

This is the best video ever lol i love these tsukemono

[@laurene2586]

Thank you for this video! I have limited access to a variety of tsukemono so this was so interesting learning about the different types. The furikake looked good, too.

[@dbwatx931]

My mouth is watering! I love tsukemono!

[@francisinghels9765]

so different food....love to look, hope to taste..

[@hollywebster6844]

Justin sighting! Love it! Does he like pickles? 🤭

[@TabiEatsReviews]

Nope. He hates them

[@CourtneyinSF]

Ahhh, I love tsukemono! I will have to look for similar items at my local nijiya.

[@sophievautour8573]

Perfect omiyage! BUT, how would we transport on the airplane coming back to Hawaii? Any hints/suggestions?

[@patrickdougan4066]

Great info. Love the vid.

[@ajadegirl]

Thank u for sharing

[@deanzaZZR]

Buying these high quality tsukemono from specialty shops makes all the difference. It's more expensive this way but so worth it as many pickles that can be bought at the grocery store are too salty.

[@marmill_]

HELLO YAHHH 😃 another video THANKS 4 sharing also heard anything pickled or fermented is great 4 Ur stomach & health ❤ 💘

[@xymbalreborn]

Aloha from Maui! I absolutely have to agree with you about that furikake. We went to Japan with our students in June and found that exact furikake in Arashiyama (near the bamboo forest). Like you said too, you can taste the samples. I didn't even want to go in simply because they were hocking their samples on the street but I'm so glad I did (that and they had curry senbei....those things are bomb too!) Since then, we've been asking any of our friends to let us know if any of them are going to Arashiyama in hopes they could snag us a few bags. We found them online but they're super expensive! Shinichi, best wishes for your mom. We noticed you were on Oahu the same time we were last month. My wife's family lives near your sister (we immediately recognized the area.....for the sake of not giving the location away, they live on the otherside of that mountain....lol). Our kids watch your videos too and said that they'd want to get a picture with you if we bumped into each other. Keep the videos coming! If you folks are ever on Maui, let me know! We'll gladly help you guys eat all the food here! お元気で!

[@Florence1318]

xymbalreborn may I ask what is the name of the store in Arashiyama yo buy the furikake snack? We are going to be I. Kyoto in February next month. Thanks!

[@davidsobel3303]

I love tsukemono! When I was at Nishiki market I wanted to buy so many things. One problem was that some of the really good fresh ones have to be kept refrigerated so you can't take them back with you unless you use an ice pack. One of my favorites is the Kyoto specialty of the red sliced kabu. Oishii!

[@lucianaborinato2993]

I would try all of them, apart from the small fishes one, they make me squeamish lol. I will definitely buy some picked vegetables, in one of the many Japanese groceries, and delicatessen stores we have here in London.

[@tamara4557]

ohhh I want to try that yuba!!! I love the traditional tsukemono shops with the big wooden vats. My favourite tsukemono is probably rakkyo. I can eat that with anything or just as snack with a drink hahaha And I love takuan. But many other tsukemono are tasty as well, on rice or as a small pallete cleanser in your bento. I heard that in the kurama area north of Kyoto they are famous for the sansho tsukemono. Also the area looks beautiful. Perhaps an idea to go there sometimes ^.^ And an idea with tsukemono; try making chahan with it. I always make takuan chahan with just egg, the takuan finely chopped and some chopped green onions, but probably works with other tsukemono as well. The chirimenjako sansho is perhaps good as a dressing for like spinach or komatsuna.

[@plejade4125]

Ohh I love Tsukemono so so much, I really have to stop myself to eat whole packages whenever I open one😂 They all look so beautiful and I bet the quality is really high from the crafting skills of the shops, really wish I could eat them right now too. Last autumn I made some Daikon pickles from my own growed Daikon, and "Senmaiduke" with Shogoin Turnip, also self growed. Even I made them with just the simplest recipe it was a pure joy, so I can imagine how your variety could taste. Thanks for showing all these amazing treats, learned some new too I have to try, thank you ^^//

[@kamikazitsunami]

I need this furikake!

[@awoFalase]

I really like Tsukemono!

[@benbrown8258]

Makes me want to run out to the Pacific treats store and see if I can find all of these items.? Would you eat all of these in one meal? What would be a traditional meal of these items.?

[@Crittergirl81]

This makes me want to go to Japan even more, where I'm at in the US we have a sushi shop that has an oshinko roll, which is my favorite. I want to try more.

[@kml223]

I am missing Maui Brand Daikon and Umeboshi, do you ever make them at home? I need a good recipe for them being that I am in New Mexico (the Southwest) and I cannot get them here. I think I can make the Daikon but I don't know about making the Ume'. Can you recommend a good recipe for these yummy goodies?

Love your travel and food videos! Thanks for sharing, may I ask what are the names of the stores in Kyoto for purchasing these Japan Tsukemono ? The substitle captions translate in english are not corrected spelling :) Thanks!

[@TabiEatsReviews]

The stores are Daito (senmai zuke) , Taiyasu and Nishiri for the others. The Furikake was from Ochanoko saisai. I hope this helps

South Indians will be very similar familiar with the concept of eating lots of rice with certain mango pickles for instance. And of course , china and korea are even more similar in respect. One of the aspects s of Japanese food.I love the most yet kNow so little about thank you.

I actually don't like pickled foods much; other than pickles. but this spread looked pretty good.

[@lynnkihara2323]

Do you know if they can be taken on the airplane to say, Hawaii?

[@tamara4557]

I've taken tsukemono back to Europe with no problem but you have to check if you can import vegetable products. But you have to put it in your suitcase, because there is some liquid in the bag. But check beforehand how you have to keep it. tsukemono freshly bought in a tsukemono shop often has to be kept in the refrigerator and are quiet perishable. the tsukemono in the supermarket are usually unopened okay to take with you and keep longer, but after opening keep in refrigerator.

do you have popcorn in Japan

[@TabiEatsReviews]

We sure do

[@dalejames2481]

@@TabiEatsReviews Thank you. It kinda shows how little I know about Japan. I'm learning

[@Mimulus2717]

that last pickle may be a turnip? not daikon. One of the three most famous Kyoto pickles is senmaizuke. The real senmaizuke uses Kyoto’s huge turnip called Shōgoin kabu (聖護院かぶ, Shōgoin turnip), which is a local vegetable of Kyoto. It is a very large turnip and its diameter is about 18-20cm (7-8”). The flesh has a fine texture, sweetness and is slightly slimy.

Rice is already good. Leave it to Japan to take it to God mode.

[@Mimulus2717]

It would be helpful if you spelled out what you are eating, list them in the notes and read off all the ingredients or how to identify if a pickle has MSG. Less time raving about how good it tastes, but more details about what you are eating.

[@金睿璘]

All Pickles are Chinese food because it is made in the same way as paochai.

I gave you a 'Thumbs Up', but was actually quite disappointed ... LOL *My fault*. I thought you were going to *teach us* some tsukemono *recipes*! So sad - - - maybe next time???
