Homemade Japanese shibazuke pickles made with eggplant, cucumber and ginger in a white and blue plate on a bamboo mat

Shibazuke is a traditional Japanese pickle (tsukemono) that originates from Kyoto. It is typically made with summer vegetables like eggplants, cucumbers and myoga (Japanese ginger) pickled with salt, and red perilla leaves called aka shiso which gives it the iconic purple color. These homemade shibazuke are easy to make, relatively quick and really taste great. They’re one of my favorite pickle recipes I’ve made so far and I hope you enjoy them too!
