This is a Sugidoco, a convenient item for making nukazuke (fermented rice bran pickles) that eliminates the need for water drainage and simplifies maintenance. I intended to use it myself and purchased it from the official shop in June of this year, but I haven't had a chance to use it due to being busy, so I am putting it up for sale. It is brand new and unused, in the same condition as when purchased. Please consider it if you're interested. ⚫︎ We are selling the innovative "sugidoco" nukazuke box, made from natural cedar from Kyushu, which eliminates the need for water drainage. Nukazuke is a lactic acid bacteria culture that can be easily cultivated at home. It is said that the nutritional value of vegetables increases by 5 to 10 times just by pickling them. You can enjoy delicious and nutritious nukazuke by pickling seasonal vegetables, as well as less-than-perfect vegetables! It eliminates the need for water drainage and doesn't smell even when left at room temperature, allowing you to enjoy nukazuke in a stylish way.
