zakka news from tokyo

I found this jar of pickles—an original product from “Shibakai Nouen,” an organic farm in Chiba Prefecture—in the basement food hall of a department store in Ginza. I sometimes make my own pickles, but the sales staff’s comment, “Ours has a mellow, mild flavor,” convinced me to give them a try. Yes! they were delicious. ［Japanese］銀座の〝デパ地下〟で見つけた、千葉県にある有機農家「柴海農園」のオリジナル、ピクルスの瓶詰めです。ピクルスはたまに自分でも作るのですが、販売員の方の「うちのはまろやかで優しい味わいですよ」の一言で買ってみました。確かに、ビネガーがキツすぎずおいしかったです。
