Serve Japanese kyurizuke pickled cucumber alongside miso soup. Or enjoy with other pickles as an accompaniment to curries and rice dishes.

Cucumber slices are pickled with ginger, soy sauce and sesame for a refreshing sweet-and-sour flavour. You can also use the kyurizuke as a filling for onigiri – Japanese rice balls that are a popular on-the-go snack – or even enjoy as they are with salted peanuts and a cold beer for an authentic Japanese bar snack.
