Japanese Noted Foods   Bettara Pickles  
Report

There is a festival called "Bettara-Ichi" performed in "Takarada" Ebisu Shrine in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Originally it was the city which sold a thing used for "Ebisukou", but "Bettara-Duke" which therefore was sold all too soon became famous, and it seems to have come to be said with "Bettara-Ichi".

This pickle could be in the vinyl now, and it was sold, but it must have been just sold in old days. The origin of "bettara" will come from that it is soaked in starch syrup and malted rice with "bettari". I mean that "bettari" was close together stickily.



This pickle is white visually, and the smell is a slightly sour feeling. When it eats it, I make a sound clunchily, and it is bittersweet taste. For a flavor unlike the pickled Japanese radish, it is delicious refreshingly. There is not at all the fragrance that was pickled in malted rice. It is almost the model of the Japanese radish so that I see the fiber of the Japanese radish, but after all it is a pickle because it becomes thinner than original size.

When a day passes, I want to try how I turn out, but probably will disappear first. It is attention for overeating that this is sweet, and is easy to live. A pickled Japanese radish is all right for a hateful person.
