[Oishinbo] Shallow pickles = something weak?

Otaku Review Image

Wow! I love this pickled food. It’s pickled eggplant and cucumber. Should I drink it or what? Two bowls of the same pickles? What a dilemma! In this house, even without rice, if it’s tasty, what if I drink sake with it? What should I do? Two bowls of the same pickles? Why aren’t they the same? This one is old pickles and this one is lightly pickled. The lightly pickled one is too soft, but it would be fine if I made it! Isn’t that right? Pickles should be enjoyed for their flavor from the nuka. The color of the eggplant and cucumber is mellow, and it doesn’t have that crunch! If it becomes old pickles, it loses the original aroma of the eggplant and cucumber. How is that? With the umami of the nuka, you can’t really grasp the true taste! If I keep it for two or three months, I’ve certainly missed the depth of flavor the nuka can offer. The taste of the food will be dismal! Moreover, if the cucumber is too soft, it might crack, making it seem strange. The value of old pickled vegetables is not appreciated by foolish eaters. What an idiot!

Despite saying that asazuke is weak, I can’t tell the difference between asazuke and koduke…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:21Yeahx19

>>1You can’t tell the difference!?
This!!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:21

Nukazuke feels like an incredible artisan skill.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:24Yeahx11

Pickles are just a method from an era when preservation techniques were underdeveloped.
I don’t understand how someone can be happy about ruining the fresh taste of vegetables!

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:27Yeahx67

>>4The third force has arrived…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:29Yeahx2

Hmph, they’re all so lowbrow!
When it comes to vegetables, it’s pickles! That refreshing tang! It’s completely different from those dull pickled veggies!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:32

The day before yesterday, when I went around the area of Mizonokuchi for a transfer delivery, there was an Aomori product exhibition at the station, and I bought iburi-gakko, which was delicious.
Is smoking pickles a skill tree for extending their preservation period?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:36Yeahx2

>>7I first want to dry it to make takuan, but in the northern areas, I can’t dry it properly because of the snow and clouds, so I smoked it over a campfire.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:37

>>8I see, that happens when the humidity is high.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:38Yeahx4

Nukazuke is a fermented food that provides lactic acid bacteria, so it is healthy as long as you don’t overeat it.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:38

I thought it was a bit pricey since I was lacking vitamins, but I ordered a la carte at the izakaya and it was delicious.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:39Yeahx1

>>11The pickles at the izakaya are delicious, aren’t they?
Pickles from bars are also delicious.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:40

>>13Regarding the pickles, the spicy Double Cheeseburger was mainly made with pickles and it was delicious.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:39

It’s a pickled rice that goes well with the unknown pickles at the roadside station.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:40Yeahx3

When you think about it, the refrigerator was a revolution…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:41

>>15A little while before that, I was putting big pieces of ice in a wooden box to make a makeshift refrigerator.
I’m wondering if this method can be used if there’s ice magic in another world.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:40

It seems that there were difficulties regarding the laws related to pickles when it comes to iburigakko.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:41

A pickle lover who wants dill herbs added to pickles.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:41

Why are we fighting when you prepared two kinds for us?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:42Yeahx1

>>19I don’t need the other one.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:43Yeahx5

>>20Barbarians…

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:46Yeahx7

>>21Angry about someone else’s favorite food being on the dining table.
It’s pretty barbaric to declare something unnecessary right in front of you.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:47

>>27Well then, I’ll eat all of this.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:43

They were doing the huge ice replacement thing in the sunset of the third district.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:43

Barbarians!?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:44

Is it pickled in just 2 or 3 days?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:44

You both should just eat the rice bran and vegetables separately.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:45

It’s fun to search for mysterious pickles at a product fair.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:47Yeahx1

Just like pickled plums, nuka-zuke (vegetables pickled in rice bran) also have a home-cooked flavor and it’s natural for them to vary from household to household.
It seemed that any flavor and whatever was pickled were free, but that has become sharpened, advanced, and rated.
It’s become something that can’t be easily made at home.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:48

>>29I wonder when I started putting honey in umeboshi.
Recently it’s not that much, but honey pickled plums were a trend in the 2000s, right?

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:50

The nuka pickles and ume pickles made by my grandmother were so delicious…
I’m sorry, but my mother’s was somehow different, so it quickly became a commercial product.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:54Yeahx3

I suddenly want to eat nuka-zuke (rice bran pickles).

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:56Yeahx1

>>32Since I need to prepare the rice bran, is going to an izakaya the easiest option if I just want to eat this?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)18:55

Nukazuke is delicious, isn’t it?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:00Yeahx3

Exchanges that you occasionally see online.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:02

>>36During the day, I talked about how it’s scary to think that it might become scarce like it did before with similar items, and suddenly the fans of that content got really enthusiastic, and it was kind of intimidating.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:00

I was told by a seaweed that thinking “Oishinbo” is just a series of such ugly, low-level arguments is a big mistake.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:00

>>35This is terrible.
In the end, it felt like the punchline was that everyone was not eating other crabs.
>>35This is terrible.In the end, it felt like the punchline was that everyone was not eating other c...

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:04

>>38Even if other crabs were delicious, it doesn’t erase the abusive comments unrelated to crabs…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:08

>>38Isn’t it the usual thing?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:00

It’s Anpanman!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:00

The pickles at the izakaya are delicious because they are seasoned with MSG.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:02Yeahx2

>>40Aji no Moto is the best!

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:01

It’s tough that Yamaoka-san is in a good mood!

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:04Yeahx3

>>41Whoa, that looks delicious! Let’s drink some alcohol! Just when that happened, two old men started fighting…

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:05

>>46To think that an old man can’t drink because he’s fighting… You’re still so naive, Shirou.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:05Yeahx2

>>48Don’t say that, you old man who’s always fighting.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:08

>>49But this old man jumps into the fight to show that he is superior…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:02

I hate pickled rice bran.
Stinky.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:03

I’m curious about what episode it was when two older men were arguing over cooking and Yamauka said something like, “You both are off track.”

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:08

>>45Is it time for canned food?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:11

>>45Someone who tells the older men arguing about whether to use sudachi or kabosu in ponzu soy sauce.
Wasn’t this a different episode from when I was asked what “pon” in ponzu means?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:14

>>64I searched for it, but maybe it’s different.
I feel like it was even more pointless.
While I was typing…
This was it.
What is “Thank you, Pon”? Is that what this episode is about?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:05Yeahx2

The traditional method contains a hellish amount of salt for preservation, but if you have a refrigerator, you don’t really need that unhealthy aspect, right? So, after thinking about various things, I probably branded it by adding honey or something like that.
Pickles that exceed the recommended sodium intake in an instant are a problem that can’t be helped.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:07

I love the crunchy texture of pickled eggplant.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:08

They say it’s too much salt, but how much are you planning to eat?
Are you planning to bite it whole?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:08

When it comes to pickles, the first thing that comes to mind for people from Nagano Prefecture is nozawana pickles.
In order to prevent rotting during the winter, it is originally pickled with a lot of salt, and then it is eaten with added Ajinomoto and soy sauce.
I don’t understand why this leads to a longer healthy lifespan.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:09

>>55I have heard that Aomori and Akita are unhealthy, but is Nagano’s healthy life expectancy long?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:18

>>55It’s not just about pickling with a lot of salt; it’s just salt… After a certain amount of time, it freezes, so it’s a powerful technique that maintains the balance of salt.
It’s not very common to see it poured with soy sauce…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:09Yeahx1

It’s better to be anonymous.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:11Yeahx6

>>58In Oishinbo, there are many patterns of reconciliation after apologies, but since the anonymous ones don’t apologize, they are lower in comparison.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:15

>>63It’s like being brainwashed.
Throwing away everything I was so particular about.
The reason the slave-like reconciliation and apology in the scenario is correct is that “Oishinbo” is a work of fiction.
For the time being, there should be someone named ‘nameless’ in reality.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:10Yeahx1

In winter, I feel like the elderly in Nagano Prefecture eat about 200 to 300 grams of nozawana pickles a day, accompanied by three meals, tea snacks, and some drinks before bed.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:10

>>59What
Son

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:10

There’s only arguing about whether it’s above or below the bottom…

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:11

Is nozawana something that you eat that enthusiastically over there?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:17Yeahx2

>>62I don’t know about other households, but we used to eat it at ours.
The side dish served with each of the three meals is typically a heaping portion of nozawana pickles.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:12

Pickles themselves are an excellent preserved food aside from their salt content.
It’s something amazing that even cheese and ham cannot compete with.
The problem is salt content.
Even when reducing salt content to the point of requiring refrigeration, salt content remains a problem.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:13

Pickled leafy vegetables like nozawana and green vegetable pickles are great, aren’t they?
The crunchy stems are good, and spreading the leaves to wrap rice balls like seaweed is delicious too.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:13

The atmosphere was peaceful, but I was impressed that even among the same anonymous users, opinions on what to pair with tonkatsu varied greatly.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:14

When I ate beef noodles the other day, it was loaded with plenty of Takana, making me feel like I was in Kyushu.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:15

When you put nozawana in ochazuke, it almost makes the broth flavorful, doesn’t it?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:15

The main theme of “Oishinbo” is that everything from Kansai is the best.
I remember being scolded when I said that kiniki (kichiji) is the best fish.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:15

Even if one person clearly likes the other, there will be times when they want to change things up…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:17

>>74Characters that are inconvenient for such a scenario won’t appear.
Sometimes it comes out.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:21

>>74But you know… does someone who likes katsudon want to eat sauce katsudon?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:22

>>82There’s a famous place for sauce katsu don nearby, but it’s always crowded, so I haven’t been able to go. To change my perception, I think I’ll line up and give it a try.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:24Yeahx1

>>82You’re silly, when you say “katsudon,” you mean sauce katsudon.
The one closed with egg is called katsudon or katsu-toji don.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:27

>>82….will become!!

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:17

The nameless pickled vegetable steak, which is very popular, can also provide the daily recommended amount of sodium.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:20

If you worry about your daily salt intake…
I can’t eat anything delicious~

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:21

I was also doing things that were pretty much like trash, except for the traditional salty pickled plums.
In reality, the sweet ones are unsatisfying, so I want to try them.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:21

After this, Yamauka will intervene and have a change of heart, but in the next story, the level of civilization will be reset anyway.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:26

I dislike pickles.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:28

It would be nice to have things like shiba-zuke and takuan as side dishes with takeout or bento.
I don’t want to buy it myself and stock it in the fridge… there’s a line like that.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:29

>>87First of all, living alone means I can’t eat it all.
Dinner consists of one side dish, rice, and soup.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:28

I don’t eat any pickles other than yellow pickled radish.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:28

Everything is a challenge; tomorrow is sauce katsu don.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:31

For the people of Nagano, the sauce katsudon you can eat around there is something entirely different…
Perhaps the people of Niigata and Fukui are thinking the same thing.
Well, the sauce cutlet rice bowl from Niigata and Fukui is something entirely different…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:34

Once you can no longer refute, the battle begins.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:38Yeahx1

An exemplary delicious gesture.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:42

There’s no superiority between us, so all I can do is belittle the other person.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:42

Can you only talk in a confrontational manner?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:43

It’s just right with a foolish author and a foolish reader.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)19:43

Honestly, to belittle someone just because you dislike yourself is nothing but vulgar.
But the people in Oishinbo are all like that, so the whole world is vulgar.
