Tsukemono (Japanese-Style Pickled Vegetable)

Tsukemono are Japanese-style pickled vegetable.
Typical vegetables used for pickles are cucumber, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, Japanese radish and others. Vegetables are pickled in a variety of ways including using salt, salted rice-bran paste, and fermented soybean paste called miso. Pickled method differs depending on local customs · products · climate etc. It takes a long time to make the distinctive taste of that region. Therefore, it is difficult to classify them systematically. In other words,  Tsukemono are said to resemble European cheese traditions and culture.
