Background
From appearing on the side of Japanese curries to having their own little compartment in a full-size bento box, pickles are an important and underrated component of Japanese cuisine. These thin slices of vegetables, heavily saturated in a preserving seasoning, often form the sour component of a traditional Japanese meal.
