These are
daikon, Japanese radishes, in a field near our house. They are also grown in other seasons.
These
daikon are 100 yen each at a local vegetable stand. Can you figure out how much that is? First you'll have to find out what the exchange rate is today.

Here's a cabbage.
Audrey says: $0.93 USD. We know diakons can be pickled, how else do they use them in Japan?
ReplyDeleteSounds about right, Audrey!
ReplyDeleteDaikon are cut in round pieces and stewed in a soy based broth. They are also grated to put in the dipping sauce for things like tempura, sashimi, fish, etc. They are thinly sliced for salads. Maybe I should do a post!
In the meantime check the daikon label to see a picture of grated daikon. It's a picture from a Japanese restaurant.
