Kiriboshi Daikon

Shredded daikon dried in the sun, then simmered in a sweet soy broth until fully rehydrated and flavored. The drying process concentrates both the nutrients and the flavor, giving the texture a pleasantly chewy quality. A frequent sight in bento boxes and teishoku side dishes across Japan.

大根を干して旨みを凝縮させたものを、甘辛く煮た副菜だよ。乾燥させることで栄養がギューッと詰まっているんだ。地味な見た目だけど、定食屋さんの小鉢やお弁当の定番おかずとして、日本旅行中に必ずどこかで出会えるはず。
