Takuan Pickled Japanese Radish, 500g · East & West

Takuan is a Japanese-style pickled daikon radish, one of the classic accompaniments served alongside sushi, inside onigiri, in bento boxes, and with rice and noodle dishes. It offers a crisp, sweet and sour, refreshing bite, with a yellow color that instantly adds a neat and cheerier Japanese look to the dish.

This is an especially convenient product for home Asian cooking: simply slice, serve, or incorporate directly into a dish. It works great alongside sushi and rolls, inside kimbap or onigiri, on top of rice bowls, next to ramen, with tofu, fish, pickled vegetables, or cold Asian salads. Small, crisp, and precise - exactly the addition that elevates a simple table to a more complete Japanese experience.

Tips
Serve a few slices alongside sushi, sashimi, or a bowl of rice to add acidity and crunch. You can cut it into thin strips and incorporate it into rolls, onigiri, or kimbap, or finely chop it and add it to a cold noodle salad with soy, sesame, and green onion. After opening, it is recommended to store it refrigerated, with the radish covered in its pickling liquid.
