(Sunomono)
 
In Japan, a characteristic side-dish salad is called 'sunomono', meaning tart foods, usually raw vegetables, in a vinegar dressing. One of the most commonly used vegetables is a long, tapered white radish called by the Japanese a 'daikon'. It resembles a Western radish or white turnip in flavor but is less sharp. This radish is sold in some supermarkets and Oriental food stores. Serve with seafood or beef.
