The World of Otsukemono!
Welcome to the world of Otsukemono! We call Japanese pickles "Otsukemono" Its first letter "O" is an exalted prefix in Japanese. Usually the word "tsukemono" is used for Japanese pickles but we put "O" on it to pay the respect for Otsukemono which is the wisdom of our ancestor and also to express that they are good enough to be used as a gift for someone you care. Japanese Otsukemono first appeared in the literature more than 1200 years ago. Actually it is believed that pickling vegetables with sea water for food preservation began sometime around stone age. Owing to the grace of seasons and our original fermentation culture, Otsukemono has evolved and prevailed through our histroy and has made huge variety and affluence in each region. Otsukemono has unique deep taste, rich piquent aroma, addictive unique texture and attractive colorfulness. We believe that Otsukemono can be more valued as an essential side dish in today's world of diversity. Paying respect to the culture and history of Otsukemono while creating new values up to date Since our foundation, we put emphasis on the quality of salt and vegetable ingredients as the basis for good pickles. In the late 70's, we started to use natural sea salt, to collaborate with progressive farmers in the regions and to reintroduce local traditional vegetables. We think its our mission to pass on the value of Japanese fermentation culture to the next generation. We are producing various types of pickles using seven pickling beds, namely salt, rice-bran, soy-sauce, soybean-paste, rice malt, sake lees, and vineger.

The 38 Essential Hawaii Restaurants
• THE EATER GUIDE TO HAWAI‘I The 38 Essential Hawai‘i Restaurants From plate lunch drive-ins to tasting menu destinations, these are the most exciting places to dine across the 50th state by Eater Staff | Oct 25, 2017, 11:35am EDT No catchphrase can encapsulate the culinary scope of Hawai‘i: It encompasses carb-tastic plate lunches doused in gravy, bundles of steamed taro leaves packed with tender pork or other treasures, noodle soups, delicate mochi, and ever-new creations from relentlessly innovative chefs looking both to the islands and around the globe for inspiration. The islands’ original Polynesian residents; generations of immigrants from China, Japan, Korea, Portugal, the Philippines and other regions; and American cultural influence have resulted in cuisine like nothing elseon earth. This list of 38 essential restaurants, for a state that comprises eight major islands, is the work of many minds and palates. Four Eater editors descended on Hawai‘i, gorging throughout Honolulu and then scattering to Maui, Kaua‘i, and Hawai‘i Island for more research. Seven local experts add their picks, lending their authoritative, on-the-ground knowledge of the state’s finest eating. Given that Honolulu is the state’s capital and population center, it won’t surprise that 18 of its defining establishments appear here, including the latest fine-dining sensation, the standard bearer for golden malassadas, and the one chain that embodies Hawai‘i’s local food culture. But we pinpoint vital stops beyond Honolulu and O‘ahu as well: the seafood star of Maui, the old-school neighborhood tiki bar on Kaua‘i, and the late-night bakery of Moloka‘i among them.
