Kaneshichi Asazuke No Moto Katsuo Fumi (金七 あさ漬けの素 鰹風味) is a Japanese pickling solution used to quickly pickle vegetables. The term Asazuke refers to a type of quick pickling, where vegetables are lightly pickled in a short amount of time, typically around 30 minutes to a few hours. The Katsuo Fumi indicates that this product is flavored with bonito (katsuobushi), a type of dried fish that imparts a rich umami and smoky flavor.

How to Use Kaneshichi Asazuke No Moto Katsuo Fumi:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
