Product Info
- This plan is designed for international travelers and includes explanations in English. Experience Nagoya's Sakae district through a fermented pickle-making workshop and a fermented food dining experience. Would you like to try pickling Moriguchizuke, a famous Nagoya specialty? Moriguchizuke is made by pickling Moriguchi daikon radish in sake lees (the byproduct of sake production). It is a beloved specialty of Nagoya. You will experience the final pickling process, which is the last step in creating Moriguchizuke. You can take the Moriguchizuke you made home as a souvenir. (The pickles will be ready to eat in 3 months.) In addition to the hands-on experience, you will learn about Moriguchizuke and Aichi's fermentation culture. What kind of vegetable is Moriguchi daikon? How is Moriguchizuke made? Why is fermentation important? Understanding these will give you a deeper insight into Aichi's food culture. We will also provide samples for you to taste. Finally, for the fermented food experience, you will enjoy a fermented food set meal featuring sake-lees-marinated fish at our affiliated restaurant. The dining location for the fermented food experience is 'Suzunami Sakae Mori no Chikagai Store.' Please note that this is a separate location, and you will need to travel there (about a 7-minute walk).
- Learn about Aichi's food culture!
- We will explain about Moriguchizuke and the Moriguchi daikon radish used as the raw ingredient. Moriguchizuke is closely linked to Aichi's brewing culture. We will also explain Aichi's brewing culture, including sake and mirin.
- Try your hand at pickling Moriguchizuke!
- It takes 3 years from the cultivation of the Moriguchi daikon to the completion of Moriguchizuke. Moriguchizuke is completed through two rounds of salt pickling and three rounds of pickling in sake lees and mirin lees. You will experience the final pickling process, which is the third and final step before completion.
- Enjoy a fermented food set meal at a Japanese restaurant!
- You will receive a meal voucher worth 2,200 JPY (tax included) that can be used at our affiliated Japanese restaurant, 'Suzunami Sakae Mori no Chikagai Store.' You can enjoy a fermented food set meal that includes sake-lees-marinated fish, pickles, miso soup, and fermented sake-lees vinegar drink. After the pickling experience, please visit the restaurant at your convenience. (The meal voucher is valid only on the day of the experience.)
