Notes

  • Storage: Keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days or freezer for one month. 
  • Daikon radishes vary in taste profiles based on their sections. Choose the middle or upper part for a milder flavor. Opt for the lower part if you prefer it as a spicy condiment.
  • If your daikon oroshi is too spicy, consider these options: Allow it to sit for a while, letting the peppery element naturally evaporate for a milder taste. Alternatively, adding a bit of lemon or vinegar can help tone down the spiciness.
  • When you grate daikon, it releases plenty of water. Instead of throwing it away, consider adding it to soups and dressings or simply enjoying it as a refreshing drink.
