The iconic Nikko Road souvenir adding sparkle to everyday dishes
In the streets around the entrance to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, here and there around the Imaichi area, you will see signs advertising Ågtamarizuke.Åh The original tamarizuke was a recipe developed over 400 years ago by the renowned House of Uwasawa. The process involves putting local Nikko produce such as scallions into the pickling paste known as tamari that is produced when making miso, and then making the paste ferment deeply in a similar way to narazuke (a similar product from Nara). The result is an attractive, brown, pickled dish, the smell of which alone will call forth hunger. Tamarizuke is a jewel of an appetizer that will make you want to start eating immediately.
