This dish is known for its refreshing taste and vibrant colors, making it a popular side dish in Japanese cuisine. The preparation of Namasu usually involves pickling the vegetables in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, allowing the flavors to meld together. It is often served during special occasions, such as the New Year celebrations, as a symbol of good fortune and health.
