We take a close look at the Yamatoya Moriguchi Pickles factory in Oguchi, Aichi Prefecture, and the manufacturing process of Suzunami, known for its exquisite sake-lees marinated fish.
Watch as Japan’s longest radish, the Moriguchi radish—measuring up to 1.8 meters—transforms into a beautiful, flavorful amber pickle through a time-intensive aging process and the meticulous handiwork of artisans. The highlights include the uncompromising traditional techniques: softening by salting, the exquisite blend of sake and mirin lees, 90 days of careful aging, and the final sugar-curing. In the second half, we also feature the delicate, hand-crafted process of making Suzunami's premium marinated Spanish mackerel.
