Senmaizuke is the large Shogoin turnip sliced about 2–3 mm thick, salted, then layered with kombu in a seasoning for a few days. Most is now made with rice vinegar and does not ferment, but the original fermented type, made without vinegar, is still produced in small amounts and sours with Leuconostoc and then Lactobacillus.

Amounts from a sourceThe MAFF household recipe for 4 servings (vinegar type), from a Kyoto prefectural life-research group. The factory fermented type uses salt and sugar with kombu and no vinegar; no amounts are published for it.

At a glance
Senmaizuke is the large Shogoin turnip sliced about 2–3 mm thick, salted, then layered with kombu in a seasoning for a few days. Most is now made with rice vinegar and does not ferment, but the original fermented type, made without vinegar, is still produced in small amounts and sours with Leuconostoc and then Lactobacillus. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 6 days. The longest step, preliminary salting under a weight, takes 24 h – 3 days (Iguchi H. 2021). Leuconostoc (L. mesenteroides, L. citreum, L. gelidum), dominant at day 3 and still at day 20 in the vinegar-type product followed over time and Lactobacillus (Lb. sakei, Lb. plantarum), dominant by day 20 in the fermented type do most of the fermenting.
Senmaizuke is pickled for days, not months, and today it is mostly a vinegar pickle with no lactic fermentation. Only the older fermented type, made without vinegar, goes through a full Leuconostoc-to-Lactobacillus succession, and it stays near pH 6.
Fermented typeThe original salted, lactic-fermented form, now made by factories in limited quantities; no vinegar, full lactic succession, about pH 6.
Vinegar typeThe usual modern Kyoto form. MAFF describes it as a vinegar and kombu pickle with no lactic fermentation; the vinegar holds the lactic bacteria back after the first salting.
Safety
The fermented type stays near pH 6, so keep it cold (the study stored it at 4 °C) and eat it soon.
Hazards the sources name: Vibrio, found among the cold-loving bacteria in both types.
