Pickled Mamakari
A taste so good, you'll "borrow rice" to enjoy more!
Pickled Mamakari introduction
Pickled Mamakari (ままかり酢漬け, Mamakarizuzuke) is a traditional dish and a local specialty of Okayama Prefecture. The name "Mamakari" comes from a saying that this dish is so delicious, you'd even "borrow rice" ("mama" means rice, and "kari" means borrowing) to keep enjoying it. In Okayama, Mamakarizuzuke is prepared in many ways, including pickling, serving as sashimi, or grilling with salt. Among these, pickled Mamakari used in Barazushi, a colorful rice dish, is considered a celebratory delicacy for special occasions in Okayama. Made with fresh Mamakari, this dish is delightfully firm in texture, offering a satisfying bite with a wonderful flavor. There is no fishy aftertaste, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural umami of the fish. The quality and taste are far superior to the store-bought versions often sold as souvenirs, making it a standout experience for your palate.
