Tsugaru-zuke

"Tsugaru-zuke" is a traditional Tsugaru pickle that makes generous use of seafood. Marine ingredients such as herring roe, dried squid, and kelp are slowly marinated in a specially crafted soy sauce. Unlike "Nebuta-zuke," which uses mountain bounties, Tsugaru-zuke—much like Masumasu-zuke—features seafood as the star ingredient. The savory umami of the squid and kelp melts together, while the popping texture of the herring roe provides a perfect accent, making it impossible to stop eating rice. This is a luxurious side dish where the essence of seafood is concentrated into every bite. It pairs perfectly with warm rice, as well as sake or chazuke (tea rice), and is highly appreciated as a gift or an order-in treat. It is a pride of Aomori that allows you to easily enjoy the bounties of the Tsugaru sea.
