A dish that goes perfectly with rice is Japanese tsukemono. Growing up my grandmother would make a simple pickled cabbage which she would refer to as, "koko." I remember at dinner time, my grandmother would take out a glass jar of "koko" along side miso soup, ochazuke, and many other ono dishes. I would fill my bowl with plenty of rice and "koko" and enjoy the sweet and salty flavors along with its crunchy texture.
