[Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture] We recommend “Nebuta-zuke” which is crispy and crispy and requires a second helping of rice and alcohol!

In the rice-producing Tohoku region, there are many excellent rice accompaniments. "Nebutazuke" sold by Yamamoto Foods in Aomori Prefecture is one of them.

Nebuta-zuke is a pickle typical of Aomori, which has a rich fishing ground. The umami of the seafood soaks into the ingredients, and the crisp texture leaves a lasting impression. Crispy and crispy... No matter how much piping hot, freshly cooked rice you have, you'll never have enough of it, a so-called "rice thief" delicacy .

In addition to actual food reviews, we will also introduce sales information, so if you are interested, please check it out.

What kind of product is “Nebutazuke”?

Nebuta pickles

Nebutazuke is a soy sauce pickle made with plenty of seafood such as herring roe and mountain vegetables such as daikon radish and cucumbers . Because it contains a lot of umami ingredients such as kelp and squid, it has a good aroma and rich depth of flavor. The stickiness from the kelp also plays a role in holding together the ingredients, sauce, and rice.

By the way, the difference from the famous Matsumae-zuke is that while Matsumae-zuke only contains seafood such as kelp and dried squid, Nebuta-zuke also contains ingredients from the mountains. This creates a crunchy texture.

Nebutazuke is a long-selling product from Yamamoto Foods Co., Ltd. that has been popular for more than half a century since its release. There are three variations of Nebutazuke, including the standard one.

  1. Nebuta pickles
  2. Nebuta pickles with scallops
  3. Specially selected Nebuta pickles

Nebutazuke with scallops is another luxurious product that contains scallops instead of herring roe. Special Nebutazuke contains about twice the amount of herring roe as standard Nebutazuke. Each one of the herring roe is a big swing.

The fun of choosing one for yourself or as a gift is also appealing.

A real review of Nebutazuke! I tried it with rice.

This time, I will review the standard Nebuta pickles.

The 500g product is packaged in 2 x 250g bags, each of which can be frozen. Therefore, you can defrost only the amount you want to eat when you want to eat it. It's delicious, so there's a risk that the two 250g bags will be gone in no time.

The thawing method is natural thawing in the refrigerator. If you think, "Oh, I want to eat Nebutazuke tonight," just pop it in the fridge before you go out during the day, and it'll be ready to eat at night.

Nebuta pickled food review ①

When thawed...a beautiful shine comes out. The ingredients slowly fall out of the sticky dipping sauce.

Nebuta pickled food review ②

Nebuta pickles on the rice. The thick sauce slowly soaks into the rice...now, enjoy.

The sticky soy sauce brings together the rice, ingredients, and sauce, so it makes a slurping sound when you put it in your mouth. The next thing you will notice is the soy sauce flavor, which is rich in umami. There is no sharp taste such as strong saltiness or sweetness, and it has a mellow impression. You can feel that good soy sauce is made with good dashi.

And when you bite into it, it's crispy... crispy... The soy sauce flavor that soaks into the daikon radish and cucumber slowly oozes out. Sometimes the crisp herring roe pops out and makes a small splash. Ah, delicious...! Encountering herring roe makes you feel very rich, but if you ask me, the main ingredients of Nebutazuke are vegetables such as daikon radish and cucumber. The crispy texture that absorbs all the umami flavor leaves a lasting impression.

If you keep eating the food slurping and crunching, you'll run out of rice in no time. It's the perfect accompaniment to rice that makes freshly cooked rice even more delicious...or rather, you could call it a companion to rice.

This time I had it with rice, but the rich flavor would also go well with alcohol. When you get your hands on some good sake, you'll definitely want to drink it with some Nebuta pickles.
