Pickles from Imai Town
Enjoy a single slice of Narazuke, glowing with a deep amber color. The mellow aroma of sake lees and the pleasant, crunchy texture spread delightfully through your palate. Imai Town in Kashihara City flourished as a temple town during the Warring States period, and by the Edo period, it was known as a town of wealthy merchants, with the saying '70% of Yamato's gold is in Imai.' Even today, about 500 traditional buildings line the streets, and the area has been selected as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. Walking through these lattice-lined streets, you will find Nara's specialty, Narazuki, displayed at the storefronts. Narazuke, made by repeatedly pickling vegetables in sake lees, is characterized by its deep sweetness, mellow richness, and a lingering aroma. Both the historic streetscape and the labor-intensive pickles are flavors nurtured by time. Please enjoy a slice as a companion to your stroll.
