Cooked glutinous rice is mixed with sweet vinegar and red shiso leaves rubbed with salt, packed in a tub under a light weight and left to ferment lightly for a few days. The rice turns a mottled red and sweet-sour, and it is offered on lotus leaves at Obon and then shared.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe MAFF recipe from Noshiro City, for 25 servings. Families used to cook 1 shō (10 gō) of glutinous rice at a time and pickle it in a large tub; the prefecture's survey recipe from Mitane uses 5 gō with 50 cc vinegar and 1 tablespoon sugar.

At a glance
Cooked glutinous rice is mixed with sweet vinegar and red shiso leaves rubbed with salt, packed in a tub under a light weight and left to ferment lightly for a few days. The rice turns a mottled red and sweet-sour, and it is offered on lotus leaves at Obon and then shared. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 7 days. The longest step, pack in a tub under a light weight and leave to ferment lightly, takes 2–7 days (Ministry of Agriculture).
Akazuke ferments sweetened, vinegared glutinous rice itself, with no fish, so it is a rice pickle rather than a narezushi. The colour comes from red shiso, ume vinegar or wild fruits such as yamabudō and natsuhaze berries, depending on the area.
Daisen akazukeUme pickle juice or ume vinegar with myōga leaves, sliced pickled cucumber, red shiso and salt, layered with the glutinous rice.
Fruit-coloured akazukeColoured with yamabudō (wild grape) or natsuhaze (kohaze) berries instead of shiso.
Safety
Sweet vinegar is mixed into the rice before it ferments. Before refrigerators, families added vinegar, sugar and salt, weighted it and kept it in a cool place, eating it after about a week; today it is usually fermented in the refrigerator.
It was already eaten in the early Shōwa period before the war. Families began making it in early August, since the Obon heat was said to suit the fermentation best. The other name keitomama compares its red to cockscomb (keitō) flowers; mama means cooked rice.
