This is Tsukemono-ki. Japanese quick pickles press maker.

I have a small one.

Today, I cut radish and carrot, dried under the sun for a while, (
this don't need)

Sprinkle salt and sugar and vinegar and juice of YUDU citron ( it is OK , lemon juice). and dried cut Konbu. and  knead and mix.

Put this in the TUKEMONOKI  and push.

After several hours. vegetables are pickled well.
You can find the vegetables smaller.


There are many recipes , and all of them are easy to make.

Cucumber and ginger and honey and salt.

Turnip and turnip leaves and salt and Konbu,

Cabbage and shiso herb and salt.........etc..

There are also tukemonoki  made by glass, or pottery.

I use this for many years.
