Asazuke (浅漬け) (literally: shallow pickling) is a Japanese pickling method characterized by its short preparation time. The word asazuke can also refer to the items pickled in this manner. Because of its short preparation time asazuke generally lacks the pungency created by other more lengthy pickling methods but retains more of the fresh taste of the vegetable. Commonly used vegetables include daikon hakusai cucumbers or eggplant.
