Taste a Local Delicacy at a Historic Pickle Shop
Yamatoya Moriguchizuke Sohonke - Factory Direct Shop is a pickle specialty store in Oguchi Town, operated by Yamatoya, a renowned producer with over 200 years of history.
Their signature product, Moriguchi-zuke, is a type of Japanese pickle made by soaking the Moriguchi Daikon—known as the world's longest radish—in sake lees.
The result is a flavorful and aromatic delicacy that pairs well with rice or sake.
In addition to freshly made Moriguchi-zuke, the shop also offers Nara-zuke and seasonal items, making it a great spot for souvenirs or gifts.
Next to the shop is Yamatoya’s production facility, and if you’re lucky, you may catch a glimpse of the pickling process through observation windows.
A tasting corner is also available, so you can try before you buy—perfect for curious visitors and food lovers alike.
