Gakko Chakko - A Treat for Myself

Due to the recent increase in rice prices, we've been eating it less often. However, whenever we do have a meal with rice, iburigakko is always on the table.

Iburigakko is also excellent with tea, and it's great for gut health, so we never have issues with constipation. Both my husband and I work at computers, so we tend to lack exercise, but we still don't suffer from constipation.

I heard from a colleague at work that in Akita, many families used to make their own iburigakko. However, I order mine online from Akita (via Amazon).

Since fewer people are making iburigakko these days, I wanted to spread awareness about it, so I created about 20 songs. I wrote the lyrics in English because I hope to introduce the goodness of this pickled vegetable to as many people as possible.
