About Tsukemono Steak (Pan-fried pickles with egg)

Tsukemono Steak is a local dish from the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture. While pickles are usually eaten as they are, in Hida-Takayama they are cooked on a hot pan.

It is said that the dish began as a way to thaw frozen pickles or make overly sour pickles more enjoyable. The fried pickles are bound with egg and topped with bonito flakes, green onions, or other garnishes. Cooking them brings out a fragrant aroma and sweetness that make the dish especially satisfying.

Today, Tsukemono Steak is a local specialty and popular with visitors to Hida.
