I usually go to the Omihachiman store, but today I went here. I bought pickled Japanese vegetables and shiso radish. The meal is progressing. Personally, I don't like pickled eggplant, but after eating the Shimoda eggplant pickles here, I started to love pickled eggplant. However, this is only the Shimoda eggplant... This time it was after hours, so next time I'll have a pickle buffet...

Over 80 years of making pickles. A long-established pickle shop that sells pickles made with vegetables grown with time and effort on their own farm, including Shimoda eggplant, which is synonymous with Omi pickles. Other pickles of Japanese vegetables. Omi's miso pickles are famous. Perhaps because it is close to Kyoto, the taste of the pickles was elegant and comparable to the pickles you eat in Kyoto. Pickled Japanese vegetables went well with rice. What was unusual was the miso-pickled bamboo shoots. In the Kanto region, especially in Tokyo, I don't see it very often, so I bought it. Was it soaked well? It was so soft. After all, it is a feeling that goes well with rice (laughs). It might be good to match with sake, especially Japanese sake. access 20-minute walk from Hikone Station on the JR Tokaido Sanyo Main Line 20-minute walk from Hikone Station on the Ohmi Railway Main Line From Hikone Station, take the castle tour bus and walk 3 minutes from Hikone Castle Station.
