About

Nametake is one of the staple preserved foods that Japanese people always have in their fridge. It is most commonly eaten with a side dish of rice but is also used as a condiment or sauce. Nametake is delicious when served with chilled silken tofu or grated daikon radish. Also try it with Zaru Soba or Citrus Udon.
