Daikon Cress
The heat of daikon radish in a fine, crunchy shoot.
Daikon Cress is the young shoot of the daikon radish, known in Japan as kaiware. Its fine stems and small crunchy leaves have a pronounced radish taste, stronger than red radish, with a hint of horseradish. It lifts raw fish and Japanese cuisine.
