Takuan Pickled Daikon Radish Recipe
Pickled dakon radish. This is my biggest weakness at the sushi stand. Takuanmaki is what I judge the offerings of a sushiya on.

Thanks for your time ,

Nice one. Thanks!


I love takuan as well, i guess thier really is no need for the yellow food coloring that you so often see for daikon? or is that something different?


My family thought this recipe was TERRIBLE!! I didn't love these but my reaction was not as strong. They call them the 'formaldehyde sticks.' They love pickled everything else, garlic, onions, carrots, herring, etc. I think it's the rice vinegar. I usually use cider, white or red wine, or tarragon.
