Tsukemono (漬物, "pickled things") are Japanese preserved vegetables (usually pickled in salt, brine,^[1] or a bed of rice bran).^[2] They are served with rice as an okazu (side dish), with drinks as an otsumami (snack), as an accompaniment to or garnish for meals, and as a course in the kaiseki portion of a Japanese tea ceremony.^{[citation needed]}
