I saw this at Marukai yesterday. I knew that it was sake lees (a byproduct of sake production) and is used to make tsukemono. I stood in front of it for awhile remembering a few Japanese programs that I'd watched before where they show how some households have a kasu-filled vat in a corner somewhere, and anytime they needed tsukemono they would go to it and dig out a pickled vegetable. I think that's so cool. I wanted to try. This bag was $4.29.
This daikon ($1.49) is actually not as big and obscene-looking as it appears.
Lahaina Baby Eggplant ($3.87)
Keiki Cucumber ($3.99)
Now, I gotta figure out how to do this. Wish me luck! LOL!
this is kinda like how I make ours for work. I mix it with beer, whole dried chili pepper, ajinomoto (yup..so I cant eat it ;-{ ... after I salt the cucumbers and rub rub rub and let them sit for 30 minutes, rinse off and BURY in the mixture...bam...overnight....tsukemono !!
Oooooh. I love tsukemono. I buy the one from Ruger Market - yatsumezuke. Before I used to buy it at Tropics in the Ward markets before Marukai took over, but now he sells it at Ruger.

What section of Marukai do they sell the miso?
Rennee, at Dillingham they moved it next to the tsukemono on the right.
