Made with Shogoin radish, which has a plump, bouncy texture
It is one of Kyoto's most representative traditional vegetables, said to have originated in the Shogoin region of Kyoto in the late Edo period. The large, perfectly round fruit is full of water and is soft but does not fall apart when cooked, and is slightly sweet.



It has a thick texture that is different from kiriboshi daikon and is satisfying to eat.
The meat has a fine texture, so when dried it takes on a plump, bouncy texture. In addition, the flavor is concentrated as the moisture is removed, and the subtle, refined sweetness is enhanced. It has a completely different taste from raw.
