Whole eggplants picked in the morning are dusted with alum and dried in the shade, then layered in a big tub with steamed rice, plenty of rice koji, salt, coarse sugar and shochu. After about a month under a weight they are koji pickles, made in autumn to eat through the winter. Made in 3 steps over 31 days. The longest step, layer with the eggplants in a lined tub and weight down, takes 30 days (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (Our Regional Cuisines) 2026). Salt is 15 % (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (Our Regional Cuisines) 2026).
Unlike nasu no hanazushi, which uses sweetened glutinous rice and chrysanthemum and is now usually eaten within days, this pickle uses steamed rice and a lot of koji and is kept for the winter.
Fukashi-zuke (Tarumi-nai, Yokote)The Akita prefecture survey (2024) records eggplants dried, mixed with steamed rice and seasonings, and pickled for 1 month.
Komagata, YuzawaThe same survey says eggplants were once pickled in koji rice there; it is now made there with vinegar, sugar and sake, without koji rice.
Made in each household from the July–October eggplant harvest, using the second-grade rice left from the new crop, as one of the jobs of getting ready for winter. A women's group in Daisen has sold a modern version, fukashi nasu, since about 1992.
