DAIKON (LOW BOK)

Daikon (low bok) is a large white radish that is shaped like, but is at least twice as thick as, a large carrot. Despite its size it is crisp and juicy and has a nice, not too strong peppery flavor. It can be used either raw or cooked. Pickled daikon is highly prized in Japan, where no rice dish is ever served without it. In tonnage the daikon is Japan's number one vegetable crop.
