Show original
Genkaizuke Co., Ltd., founded in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture in the mid-Meiji period, has continued to protect the one-of-a-kind delicacy called "Genkaizuke" for more than a century.
Genkaizuke is a lees pickle made by finely shaving and refining the cartilage of the whale's upper jaw (turnip bone), and then slowly soaking it in aged sake lees with a secret seasoning. The unique crunchy texture and the mellow aroma of sake lees are in perfect harmony, making it a traditional food that Karatsu is proud of.
Since our founding, we have consistently been particular about sake lees, and have been striving to create products that will be appreciated as an accompaniment to our customers' tables or as a local specialty through lees pickling.
Although the times have changed, while valuing the traditional taste that has been passed down from generation to generation, we have also developed products that meet the trends and continue to protect Genkaizuke, which is widely popular as a sole food in Saga Prefecture.
Our mission is to preserve the tradition of Genkaizuke, which is the pride of Karatsu, while passing on its value to the next generation. And to continue to be a company that can continue to be remembered by the people of the community.
The lees pickles, which are carefully made one by one, are filled with the climate and history of Karatsu, as well as the thoughts of the craftsmen.
　
　
　

What are we doing?

The essence of Genkaizuke lies in carefully selected ingredients and traditional manufacturing methods.
The cartilage of the whale is made from minke whales from the Antarctic Ocean, and each one is carefully refined. The sake lees are made from sake lees from a sake brewery in Fushimi, Kyoto. This sake lees is aged over time using the traditional method of "stepping in".
In addition, by soaking it in a secret seasoned sake lees that combines starch syrup and sugar, Genkaizuke with a unique flavor and crunch is completed. This manufacturing method is a traditional technique that has been passed down from generation to generation since its founding.
Our commitment begins with the choice of materials. We use the highest quality ingredients and pursue a natural taste with as few additives as possible. Each piece is carefully finished by skilled craftsmen.
In response to food preferences that change with the times, in addition to the traditional Genkai pickles, we have developed a variety of lees pickles, such as scallop lees pickles, sea mushroom lees pickles, and sushiko lees pickles. In recent years, they have also created new products such as cream cheese lees pickled and dried fruit lees pickled.
We are not just a food manufacturer, but also a cultural bearer who protects and conveys Karatsu's food culture. Through Genkaizuke, which is the pride of the region, we continue to convey the wonders of Japan's traditional food culture both domestically and internationally.
