“Picklestone” Make Japanese pickles just in one night!

Just place the diced vegetables into the pot, cover with salt, put the stone on top and wait. With only these three steps, you can easily take in fermented foods into your diet. In addition, Tsukemono reduces food waste. Did you know that 1.3 billion tons of food are thrown away every year in the world? Vegetable skins, roots, and leaves that are usually thrown away can also be pickled.

 Let’s practice zero waste life with Picklestone! 

There are pickles that can be made in just one night.

A common way of making pickles, requires soaking the vegetables in brine and waiting for them to ferment – which can take a long time.

However, the Japanese pickles “Tsukemono” only take overnight.
 With Picklestone, it’s surprisingly easy to make.

How to use

 To make Tsukemono, you need to first drain the water from the vegetables and make a bacteria-free environment for the vegetables by using salt. Preservation power improves by salt entering the vegetable fiber, and the number of lactic acid bacteria increases, and the sourness of the pickle is produced. Easy as that, now you have Japanese style pickles.

Why put a stone?

Why can pickles be made in just one day? The secret lies in the weight.
 By applying pressure vertically to a cylindrical glass pot, the speed at which water is drained from the vegetables increases, and this is how the pickles get their unique texture!
 Pickled vegetables are completed in about 4 hours for finely cut vegetables.

In addition, when we seal the container with the stone, the pickles do not come in contact with air and the preservation power improves.

Health benefits of Japanese pickles

If you can’t eat a large volume of raw vegetables, pickle them and you can get plenty of fiber and vitamins. In addition, the effect of lactic acid bacteria improves the intestinal environment. Japanese-style pickles are the perfect vegan superfood. Why not make them a part of your daily diet? 

 Smart design without waste

1. Picklestone can be stored in the refrigerator door

Its smart design saves space even in a small kitchen. Pickles can be made even for one person.

2. Simple structure

 Stones and wood are hygienic, and easily removed for cleaning.
 After use, dry it and store it in the shade. 

About the stone

 For the Picklestone sold in Japan, we use the highest quality “Aji stone” from Kagawa, Japan’s which is known for stones.
  Used in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Torch, garden stones of the Prime Minister’s Office, and hot springs dedicated to the Emperor, we use precious stone mined from a that has lasted for the past 400 years. 

Our mission

How can we ensure that not only Japanese people but also people from other countries enjoy pickles?There are two problems that need to be solved.

The first is that after you receive the product, you do not have the ingredients on hand.

Japanese pickles require salt, Konbu, and dried red chili.But we learned that getting Konbu outside of Japan was much harder than we imagined.

Of course, it is possible to make pickles with just salt, but we wanted people to enjoy more traditional pickles, so we decided to include the Picklestone starter kit.

With this, all you need to do is prepare the vegetables you have at home and you can start making pickles right away the day you receive them.

The second challenge is that many people are not familiar with the taste of Japanese pickles, so the person making the pickles cannot judge whether the taste of the pickles made according to the recipe is correct or not.

For those who are making pickles for the first time, we decided to develop a perfect original soy sauce that is much easier to use. All you have to do is put soy sauce into the pot with the vegetables. There is no risk of failure.

We developed our own original blend of soy sauce.

The added flavor of the shiitake mushrooms changes the taste of the pickles for the better.It is also free of animal ingredients, so it can be eaten by vegans.

About the recipe

We enclose a booklet with 12 recipes for pickles made with salt, which should be your first step, and also 20 recipes for dishes arranged with pickles made with magic soy sauce.

We developed a new set to introduce people to traditional Japanese pickles. Picklestone is the best product for making pickles.This challenge will make more Japanese pickle lovers!

I am convinced that it will make people feel more familiar with fermented foods.
