Let's Think About 'Tsukemono'! Conducting a 'Shiga Pickle Survey'

Overview - The Lake Biwa Museum field reporters are conducting the first survey for 2026: 'Shiga Pickle Survey - Our Taste, My Tsukemono.' - It is known that various pickles exist throughout Shiga Prefecture in each region. There are also traditional vegetables perfect for pickling, such as Hino-kabura and Shimoda eggplant. While pickles have been cherished as local cuisine and preserved foods coloring dining tables in each region, aren't their roles and our preferences changing in modern food culture? - To rethink pickles in daily meals, we are soliciting survey data from a wide range of generations. We look forward to your responses. - Collected data will be compiled by field reporter staff and published on the museum's webpage as 'Field Reporter News.' It is also scheduled to be reported at next year's field reporter exchange meeting.
