Moriguchi Daikon
This is the world's longest and thinnest radish, exceeding 1 meter in length. Named 'Moriguchi Daikon' after Moriguchi City, this amazing traditional vegetable reaches over 1 meter in length with a diameter of only a few centimeters. Its history is ancient, said to date back to the Muromachi period. There is even an anecdote that Toyotomi Hideyoshi greatly praised the long pickled radish after eating it in this region, leading him to name it 'Moriguchi-zuke.' Long and slender, Moriguchi Daikon has been enjoyed as 'Moriguchi-zuke,' which is slowly pickled in sake lees and mirin lees. The radish, pickled to a beautiful amber color, features a crunchy texture and a sweet aroma from the lees that stimulates the appetite. It is perfect as an accompaniment to rice, a snack with alcohol, or even as a treat with tea. It is a unique and profound taste of Osaka that serves as a great conversation piece.
