Hinona is a slender turnip about 30 cm long, purple near the leaves and white at the tip. For the bran pickle, the turnips are hung on racks to wilt for a day or two, then packed tightly in a tub with salted rice bran under a stone twice their weight, and checked after about a month. Chopped and pickled in vinegar it turns pink, which gives the name sakura-zuke.

Hinona is a slender turnip about 30 cm long, purple near the leaves and white at the tip. For the bran pickle, the turnips are hung on racks to wilt for a day or two, then packed tightly in a tub with salted rice bran under a stone twice their weight, and checked after about a month. Chopped and pickled in vinegar it turns pink, which gives the name sakura-zuke. Made in 5 steps over 31 days – 32 days. The longest step, pickle and check after about a month, takes 30 days (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (regional cuisine) 2026). Salt is 4 % (MAFF うちの郷土料理 (regional cuisine) 2026). In rice-bran pickling beds (related product; a laboratory study of cucumber, cabbage and radish nukazuke, not this one), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum became dominant in both the bed and the pickles does most of the fermenting.
Hinona-zuke is made from a long, thin, two-coloured turnip that has its own pungency and bitterness. The turnips are wilted on racks before the bran, and its vinegar form turns the pink of cherry blossom.
Sakura-zukeLeaves chopped and roots cut into thin strips, salted, rubbed, scalded and rinsed, then pickled with vinegar and a little salt under a weight; liquid rises overnight and it is ready a day and night later.
Ebi-zukePre-salted whole with leaves, then pickled in sweet vinegar.
Quick bran pickleSalted for about half a day, rubbed under running water, tied in bundles of 4–5 and put in a bran bed; ready when liquid rises.
Safety
In the MAFF recipe the turnips are packed tight and pressed under a stone twice their weight. If no liquid has risen after a few days, 4% salt water is poured in, and the pickle is checked after about a month.
Hinona is said to have been found about 500 years ago by the lord Gamō Sadahide near a Kannon hall in Hino. Pickled, its colour reminded people of cherry blossom, and a poem sent back from the court named it sakura-zuke. Hinona-zuke was chosen as a Shiga food cultural property in 1998, and the vegetable gained Japan's GI protection as Ōmi Hino-san hinona in 2022.
