Daikon radish and yuzu are now in an abundance! I made pickles from them which is known as 千枚漬け（senmaiduke) in Japanese!
The crunchiness combined with the sweet and sour marinade is addictive! Make a batch of pickled daikon radish and enjoy through out the week with rice, pasta and much more!

<Miwa’s tips>※more tips on YouTube!!
・It’s a relatively sweet pickle. You can reduce sugar the sugar to 2 ½ tablespoons.
・You can swap Yuzu for lime, but I found that lime has a much stronger and bitter taste than Yuzu. If you are opting for lime,use less peel.
<Storage time>
Store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
