Saga Local Sake Lees Pickles (Sakekasu-zuke)

The sweet aroma of sake lees rises gently, and with one bite, a mellow richness and the umami of fish and vegetables spread across your palate. This is a nutritious pickle unique to Saga, a true land of sake. Saga Prefecture, including areas like Kashima and Ureshino, is a land of rice and sake, dotted with many breweries. This local sake lees pickle is made by slowly marinating seafood and vegetables in the sake lees produced during the sake-making process. The yeast and enzymes contained in the lees soak into the ingredients, creating a soft flavor and deep taste. If lightly grilled, it becomes fragrant and is perfect as an accompaniment to rice or as a snack for evening drinks. The rich sake culture of Saga lives quietly within every single slice of these pickles.
