Karimori
The crunchy texture makes you want more rice. This is the traditional Aichi vegetable, 'Karimori'. A type of white melon, also known by the name 'Katauri' (hard melon). As the name suggests, because the fruit is hard and the flesh is firm, it is mostly eaten as pickles. It is a historic vegetable that has been cultivated in the Nobi Plain since the Meiji era. When preserved in sake lees (kasuzuke) or miso (misozuke), its crisp texture and refreshing flavor truly stand out. It is even said that the name originates from how 'the crunchy eating makes rice go down heartily' (karitto tabete gohan ga morimori susumu). Add a cool, crunchy dish to your dining table on a hot summer day. It is a simple, traditional taste of summer in Aichi that will keep you reaching for more rice.
