At Nishiki market in Kyoto, there are 2 ladies with a very small stand who sell cucumbers on a stick….I just can't stop thinking of them, they are so delicious. Does anyone have an idea how they are made? Fermented, pickled, salted ? There are so many recipes online I can't see the forest through the trees anymore 😅 would be really helpful if someone that has tasted them there would recognize the flavor and the preparation method that goes with it. I would be forever grateful, as would my stomach 🙏

this seems like a pretty legit recipe for them!
I know this isn’t your fault but as a super pregnant lady that spent a few months of my early pregnancy in Japan/Kyoto, I’m suddenly super messed up that I can’t get the Tandoori grilled cheese I was constantly eating in Nishiki market at the City Bakery. 😭😭😭
Food cravings, booooo… anyway. Good luck in your search.
those are amazing in the summer! it’s kyuri asazuke
it’s usually a quick pickle (12hours+) with salt, rice vinegar, and sugar
most importantly try to get Japanese cucumbers if possible. It tastes different.
Same thing on way up to Kyomizudera
