Sweet Cucumber and Eggplant Tsukemono

Description

A type of pickling, shibazuke is first and foremost a technique: soaking pieces of vegetables (often cucumbers) in a brine enriched with herbs and spices. The goal is to create a harmony of flavors without losing the freshness and crunch of the vegetables.

Kyozuke’s Melting Pot version is packed with vegetables: cucumbers, of course, but also radishes and chopped eggplant, all enhanced by the combination of shiso and ginger, in a marinade that’s as delicious as it is explosive.

The products, selected for their quality, reveal all their aromas in this blend, offering an original, gourmet and healthy experience (the vegetables transformed in this way act as probiotics, for a strong intestinal flora). A well-balanced and versatile product to discover.
