So do I eat this?

Is this just to make the plate look pretty or am I supposed to eat this?

  1. That’s daikon, usually eaten with sashimi to give it some texture in the absence of rice. Never seen it served with a roll

  3. I personally like the spiralized daikon as a palate cleanser or to scoop up more sauce or wasabi. Most people I eat with consider it a garnish but it’s tasty and fresh!

  6. It’s daikon used for palate cleansing between dishes similar to ginger. you can 100% eat.

  7. Yes. I usually dip it in the soy sauce & wasabi and eat with fish. It’s the only radish I eat.

  10. Absolutely!! I even eat grated daikon on its own over rice with some wasabi and shoyu.

  13. It’s often used as garnish but I tend to eat at least a chunk of it because it is usually pretty good healthy food IMO.

  21. Typically, it’s used as a bed beneath the fish, both to separate it from the plate and to enhance presentation. It also helps maintain the proper temperature. Sometimes freshly cut fish releases a little blood, and the radish absorbs it rather than letting it spread across the plate. Finally, the daikon itself is chilled, which helps keep the fish cool, especially if the plate is still slightly warm from the dishwasher.

  23. I’ve always eaten it because I like daikon and it’s rude to waste food IMO 🤷🏼‍♀️

  29. If you want to! With this plate specifically I’d be dipping it the unagi sauce

  34. If it’s on the plate ‘EAT IT’ they are yummy little things I just found out what they are called here
