Sushiko is a pickle of rice from the northwest of Tsugaru. Cooked glutinous rice is mixed with salt-rubbed red shiso and red cabbage, vinegar and chopped cucumbers salted for about 10 days, then weighted in a tub. Within a few days lactic fermentation makes it sour and thick, and it is eaten as a side dish with rice.

spontaneous. The MAFF recipe adds no culture; rice, salt-rubbed shiso and red cabbage and long-salted cucumbers are mixed and weighted, and lactic fermentation follows (MAFF). Horie and Nanashima 2023 isolated Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Latilactobacillus sakei from the finished pickle.

Sushiko is a pickle of rice from the northwest of Tsugaru. Cooked glutinous rice is mixed with salt-rubbed red shiso and red cabbage, vinegar and chopped cucumbers salted for about 10 days, then weighted in a tub. Within a few days lactic fermentation makes it sour and thick, and it is eaten as a side dish with rice. Made in 6 steps over 11 days. The longest step, salt the cucumbers, takes 10 days (MAFF 2026). Salt is 5 % (MAFF 2026). Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, 92–95 % of the bacterial flora of sushiko made in August and Latilactobacillus sakei, also isolated from sushiko do most of the fermenting.
Unlike narezushi or iizushi, which ferment fish with rice, sushiko has no fish or other animal protein; it is rice and vegetables only [honda2019, maff]. Older makers fermented it warm until it went slimy, while some now ferment it cold [honda2019].
In northwest Tsugaru, a rice-growing area opened up in the Edo period, every household packed a 1-to (18 L) tub for winter and took sushiko to the fields as a work food [maff].
