Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.

Round Arakotokoro eggplants are dusted with alum, halved and layered in a tub with sweetened glutinous rice, yellow chrysanthemum petals and red chilli, under bamboo-grass leaves. It is called sushi because it uses rice, and it is ready in three or four days. The old keeping version was salted at harvest and pickled in late autumn for New Year.

Round Arakotokoro eggplants are dusted with alum, halved and layered in a tub with sweetened glutinous rice, yellow chrysanthemum petals and red chilli, under bamboo-grass leaves. It is called sushi because it uses rice, and it is ready in three or four days. The old keeping version was salted at harvest and pickled in late autumn for New Year. Made in 4 steps over 3 days – 4 days. The longest step, layer with rice, chrysanthemum and chilli under sasa leaves, takes 3–4 days (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (Our Regional Cuisines) 2026). Salt is 6 % (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (Our Regional Cuisines) 2026). No source read names the microbes; the sweet rice gives the pickle a koji-like sweetness does most of the fermenting.
Unlike Akita's koji-zuke of eggplant, which is kept for the winter, hanazushi is layered with sweetened glutinous rice and chrysanthemum and is now usually eaten within days.
One-month keeping version (Tarumi-nai, Yokote)The Akita prefecture survey (2024) records eggplants pickled in salt, okara and alum, then topped with cooked glutinous rice and chrysanthemum and left for 1 month.
Arakotokoro eggplants have been grown in Yokote since the end of the Taishō era. They were salted at harvest, pickled in late autumn when chrysanthemums bloom, and eaten at New Year. Quick versions are now more common than the old salty keeping version.
