Rich in colour and flavour, shibazuke mixed vegetable pickles, a speciality of Kyoto, combine the sour sweetness typical in Japanese tsukemono pickles with the strong herbal aroma and flavour of purple perilla. This jar contains slices of cucumber, aubergine and ginger seasoned with purple perilla and pickled in a soy sauce-based pickling solution. Enjoy with a bed of rice or as a snack with an ice cold beer.
