We just got some Uri from our friend’s farm. We pickled them in our Nukadoko and I think they are the best pickles we have made so far.
Raw Uri tastes like a very bland melon, but after pickling the taste of the nuka really comes through. Unfortunately we devoured them very quickly and will have to wait until next year for another shipment.

I love the “beagle for scale” too! and the pickled uri looks so appetizing. In the US it is so hard to find good fresh tsukemono, which is unfortunate as it is great with cold sake =)

I love pickles and onigiri! What a great combo? Your version of pickles looks delicious too. BTW, these are the cutest baby cucumbers I’ve ever seen. They are nice looking and their color and texture are so beautiful. I hope you will put more onigiri-inspired recipes. Thanks for a great post!
