Premium Iburi Gakko from Akita

Iburi Gakko is smoked radish takuan from in my hometown Akita. And a small village called Sannai is the birth place of these very unique pickles. In my recent trip, I travelled to meet with the producer Eri, whom I had an opportunity to met in Seattle last year. 

Eri left her IT job for ten years and became a Gakko farmer. Her pickling method inherits her gakko master in the region, and the product is 100% natural with simple ingredients - salt, rice, sugar, which gave amazing flavors and fermentation benefits during the pickling process. She even starts with growing daikon radish on her own!

I really love her gakko, and I'd love to share some with you, so I brought limited quantities from Akita fo you. This gakko needs to keep refregerated. 

If you're interested in how Iburi Gakko is made, Eri's Instagram video shows a sneak peek at: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUNpuatEyVu/?igsh=MW5ma3F3cThsbDZycQ==

Quantities are limited, so hurry if you want to have an authentic gakko experience!
