Akita Iburigakko Pickled Daikon Radish (Pack of 3)

Canned regional Japanese delicacy

Thanks to its large size and versatility, the giant radish called daikon is one of the trademarks of Japanese cuisine: from miso soup to the hair-thin strands that accompany sashimi and from oden hot pot to an indefinite number of tsukemono (pickles), daikon is everywhere and you have probably eaten radish without even being aware of it. Iburigakko is a special way of cooking daikon in Akita Prefecture in the far north of Japan – and one of the most delicious. As you will instantly find out when you try the Akita Iburigakko Pickled Daikon Radish!

What makes this particular recipe unique is that the daikon is smoked and dried over fire and then pickled in rice bran and salt. Smoked pickles have a particular, rich flavor and the thick daikon absorbs it much better than other vegetables. After it has been pickled, the daikon is cut into thin slices with a crispy flavor and canned to arrive at your table as fresh as it was when it was cooked. And the best part is that the Akita Iburigakko Pickled Daikon Radish comes in a pack of three cans.
