Shakushina-zuke is a Chichibu pickle of shakushina, a white-stemmed Brassica rapa green. The plants are sun-dried for a day or two, then layered in a tub with salt under a weight, and repacked twice over about three weeks with the brine thrown away each time. A lactic fermentation makes them pleasantly sour, and Saitama's certification standard caps the salt at 8 %.

Shakushina-zuke is a Chichibu pickle of shakushina, a white-stemmed Brassica rapa green. The plants are sun-dried for a day or two, then layered in a tub with salt under a weight, and repacked twice over about three weeks with the brine thrown away each time. A lactic fermentation makes them pleasantly sour, and Saitama's certification standard caps the salt at 8 %. Made in 5 steps over 22 days – 23 days. The longest step, second repacking and lactic souring, takes 14 days (Saitama Prefecture 2023). Salt is up to 8 % (Saitama Prefecture 1993).
Unlike nozawana-zuke, shakushina-zuke is less salty and its brine is thrown away at each repacking. Saitama certifies two kinds, a salt pickle and a soy-sauce pickle, both from greens grown in the prefecture [saitama-std].
Shakushina shōyu-zukePickled in soy sauce or amino-acid liquid with seasonings, a separate class in the Saitama standard [saitama-std].
Rice-bran main pickleRice bran in the main pickle gives a mellower taste [jawiki].
Low-salt, low-temperature pickle (Fukaya)A Fukaya maker ripens Fukaya-grown shakushina slowly at low salt and low temperature as a lactic pickle [saitama-products].
Safety
Saitama's certification standard for shakushina pickles caps salt at 8 % and bans chemically synthesised preservatives, sweeteners, colourings and bleaches. It also tells makers to follow the Food Sanitation Act and the national pickle hygiene code of 1981 [saitama-std].
Shakushina came from China in the early Meiji era. It led Japanese pickling-greens production until heading Chinese cabbage spread, and survives in Chichibu, where the cold winters suit it and the clay, stony soil made long radish hard to grow. In the Shōwa 30s (1955–1964) it was pickled with salt only [jawiki].
