Kakizuke (daikon pickled with astringent persimmon)柿漬け
Kakizuke is a winter pickle of daikon and crushed astringent persimmon. The daikon is salted in a barrel under a stone for about 9 days, then layered with persimmons crushed with sugar, covered with its own brine and weighted for about a month. The persimmon sweetens the crisp daikon.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceThe MAFF recipe from Akita's rural women's study groups (Akita gōmi fudoki), in an amount "easy to make". The MAFF text says a large amount of persimmon, not less than the daikon, is the secret of the taste.

At a glance
Kakizuke is a winter pickle of daikon and crushed astringent persimmon. The daikon is salted in a barrel under a stone for about 9 days, then layered with persimmons crushed with sugar, covered with its own brine and weighted for about a month. The persimmon sweetens the crisp daikon. Made in 5 steps over 39 days. The longest step, layer daikon and persimmon, pour the brine back and weight, takes 30 days (Ministry of Agriculture 2026). Salt is 3.8 % (Ministry of Agriculture 2026). Leuconostoc mesenteroides, then Lactobacillus curvatus and L. sakei, in daikon ippon-zuke does most of the fermenting.

Safety
The MAFF recipe keeps the brine from the first salting, pours it back over the layers and sets a weight on top. Japan's health ministry defines a pickle that keeps for 7 days or more at room temperature as one with salt at 4 % or more, or pH 4.0 or lower, or salt at 3 % to under 4 % with pH 4.6 or lower [mhlw2013]. This is a general rule for Japanese pickles; the sources read give no final salt or pH value for kakizuke.
Kumoshikari persimmons grow in house gardens in Kakunodate. From the late Taishō period other sweet persimmons took over for eating fresh, and Kumoshikari was kept for drying and pickling. Making kakizuke once the autumn rice work was done was a custom. In Daisen (Nakasen), the rabbit hot pot called hinomaru-nabe always had a takana and hakusai pickle, and sometimes also takuan or nama-zuke (daikon kakizuke), according to the prefecture's survey. A local group formed in 2012 keeps the dish going.
