Hello! This is Tenbusu Organic Market☆

Today, we introduce “Miike Takana Pickles!,” nurtured by the rich nature of Kyushu, a side dish so delicious you won't be able to stop eating your rice. Among Takana (mustard greens), known as one of Japan's three major pickling greens, we generously use Miike Takana, which is characterized by its thick, succulent leaves and pleasant crunchy texture. These were carefully raised with zero compromise—starting from the seedling stage—by contract farmers in Hioki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, located at the foot of the sacred Mt. Kinpu.

The secret to their deliciousness lies in the artisan's skill in bringing out the best of the ingredients and the use of carefully selected seasonings. Immediately after harvest, the greens are sun-dried to concentrate their umami, then slowly fermented using traditional salt-pickling methods. Furthermore, repeated aging at low temperatures creates a deep, well-rounded flavor. For seasoning, only premium ingredients are used, such as organic whole bean soy sauce, domestic organic pure rice vinegar, and unrefined sugar from Kikaijima, Kagoshima.

The sweetness of the ingredients, which stands out because of its simplicity, and the profound depth derived from fermentation make this a masterpiece for those who seek authentic flavors. They are, of course, perfect as an accompaniment to warm rice, but the possibilities are endless—try them finely chopped in fried rice or pasta, or wrapped in rice balls.

A traditional taste packed with the blessings of the sun and earth of tropical Kagoshima. Please try these authentic, artisan-made Takana pickles that will vibrantly color your daily meals.
