Takuan made the old-fashioned way — Miyazaki daikon dried in the winter sun, then pickled slowly in naturally brewed soy sauce so the flavour soaks right through. Sliced and ready to eat, with the crunch dried daikon gives.

What is takuan?
Takuan (たくあん) is Japan's pickled daikon radish. The radish is dried first — traditionally in the open air — then pickled.
How to use & enjoy
Michimoto suggests it as a companion to rice and in onigiri, as a side in a bento, and with tea or alongside a drink. Eat it straight from the pouch without rinsing, and keep it in the fridge once opened.
