When you buy kiriboshi daikon (dried shredded radish) by the kilogram, the questions are whether you can use it all, whether you have room for it in the refrigerator, and how much preparation it needs before use.

| State / How to Eat (Whether Cooking Is Required) | This is a dried food that you rehydrate in water before use.

Suggested uses are simmered dishes, salads, miso soup, and stir-fries; we could not find any statement on whether cooking is required. Because it is sun-dried, sand and dust may be stuck to it, and the page says to fill a bowl with water and always rinse it before use (it also says sand may settle at the bottom of the bowl)Source: product description and introduction images on the Rakuten Ichiba product page |
