Similar to ginger and horseradish, daikon oroshi (grated Japanese radish) has a refreshing spicy taste along with a mild sweetness. It is often served alongside grilled fish or fried food to cut through the fattiness, or with hot dishes such as noodles or hot pot to enhance the savory flavor of the dish. This freeze-dried, freshly grated domestic daikon radish allows you to easily and conveniently make daikon oroshi at home.

For over 60 years Asuzac Foods has been producing dried and freeze-dried goods, including fruits, vegetables, soup mixes, beverage mixes, and confections, with the goal of making foods more delicious and easier to use. Mindful of the environment, the company believes that drying its products not only makes them healthier, but also results in less waste. 
 

Suggested uses: Combine 2 Tbsp (30-45ml) of water with the freeze-dried grated daikon and stir to combine. Serve alongside grilled fish, simmered eggplant, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), noodle soup, Japanese-style hamburger patties, or sukiyaki-style meat. For a refreshing dipping sauce that pairs well with meats, fish, or vegetables, try adding with a splash of Yuzu Ponzu.
