Grown in the sandy soils of Fukiagehama—Japan’s longest sand dune—these Kagoshima Sand Dune Rakkyo (pickled shallots) are preserved in a light, house-made sweet vinegar brine. Crisp, flavourful, and nutrient-rich, they make a refreshing side or snack. The leftover brine is perfect for quick-pickling other vegetables or adding to sweet-and-sour dishes, making this a versatile and healthy pantry staple.
