# Omi Tsukemono Yamajo, Himure shop

Places we stopped along the way　/　Omihachiman, Shiga

The pickle maker's own shop on the approach to Himure Hachimangu Shrine. I bought red konnyaku and hinona pickles.

253-1 Miyauchi-cho, Omihachiman, Shiga

## This moment in the journey: Red konnyaku and hinona pickles

I stopped at a pickle shop beside a stone wall. A banner under the eaves announced that the hinona pickles were ready. In a basket sat piles of red konnyaku, the local specialty I had been curious about, in pink packets.

Hinona pickles, striking for their vivid purple-red color and slender shape, were coiled into spirals and packed. At the back of the shop hung a banner reading "Hinona, a specialty of Omi." I bought both for tonight's table.
