Daikon is a fantastic vegetable. Until my wife started preparing it regularly I had little experience with it. In fact, probably only at a restaurant with fish like shown in your story.

My favorite way to eat it is raw, sliced in thin strips in salads. It's also nice with nikku jyagga. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it helps clean the body of toxins. That's what my wife tells me anyway.

Lastly, the flavor is not like that of any radish Westerner's are use to. While occasionally, depending on how it's prepared, there will be a bit of heat, it usually doesn't have any. Making it different from our spicy radishes.
