Tsukemono (Japanese Pickles) Cooking Lesson
Konohana-ya : 木の花屋

Learn Recipes Using Japanese Pickles at a Boutique Tsukemono Store.

Northern Nagano

Description

Learn some creative cooking recipes using 'tsukemono' at Konohana, Nagano's premier gourmet tsukemono maker.

Recommendation

Pickles are a quintessential part of any Japanese meal. That's especially true in Nagano, where tsukemono are an important usage of vegetables to get people through the long winters. While pickles are mostly considered a side dish, boutique tsukemono-maker Konohanaya encourages using them as an ingredient in main dishes. Take a tour of their shop to see the wide variety of tsukemono they make, then sit down and have the staff demonstrate 3 different recipes featuring creative uses of their products. Of course you get to sample your creations, too!
