Trails to Tsukiji

Daikon (3x2)

Air date: Jan 18, 2017

Today, we focus on the Japanese radish, daikon, Japan's most consumed vegetable and an essential part of the country's cuisine. Daikon is used as a main ingredient in salads and stews, as well as to spice up tempura, grilled fish, sashimi and more. We visit a daikon farm to see how it's grown and witness a top Japanese chef use advanced techniques to prepare delectable daikon dishes. Join us as we bite into this satisfyingly crunchy Japanese treat.
