There are many different varieties of Daikon, but all are larger and
generally stronger flavored than the common red radish. It can be
shredded and served with sushi or sashimi, pickled, stir-fried, or
sliced into salads. Japanese varieties tend to be
longer and skinnier than Chinese and Korean varieties, but they can be
used interchangeably.
