Chinese pickles may have an unassuming existence, but their power cannot be underestimated.
Chinese pickles may not be flashy, but they are useful.
We have picked out Chinese pickles from Taiyo Market's hit products that will brighten up your everyday dining table.
Growing in popularity! Menma (pickled bamboo shoots)
Flavored bamboo shoots (seasoned bamboo shoots) bag type 600g
Let's start with a variety of menma that are perfect for enjoying Chinese cuisine at home.
These are perfect as an accompaniment to alcoholic beverages, and are characterized by soft, high-quality bamboo shoots wrapped in chili oil that is less spicy and more aromatic.

We also recommend pairing cowpeas with kelp. Cowpea beans in particular have a rich flavor and are a rare commodity that is difficult to obtain in Japan.
