Yamagami pickles image

The masterpieces of Yamagami in Konan are marinated to further enhance their flavor.

The "jizuke" is a special seasonal pickle of Shiga vegetables, and the "buzuke" is meat or fish marinated in a special miso paste. Yamakami, which offers two lineups, has been dedicated to pickles since 1948.

In order to bring out the full flavor of each ingredient, the way it is cut, pressed, and timed are carefully adjusted. In addition to the layered Chinese cabbage and shiso leaves that are arranged like a mille-feuille, there are always about 30 types of locally produced pickles, such as Shimoda eggplant in summer and sun vegetables in winter. There are also about 10 varieties of Takemune, which is made with special miso.

On the left is Shimoda eggplant pickled in miso (Takemune), 600 yen. Old Shimoda eggplants, which are small and have a lot of water content, are further pickled in miso. The concentrated flavor of the eggplant goes well with sake. On the right is Miso-zuke Cheese (Takemune) 580 yen. This dish is characterized by the rich, sticky texture of cream cheese. The richness of the miso and cheese makes the sake go down a treat.
