This is a specialty daikon called the "Gensuke", is highly regarded for its roundness, and sought after for its superior flavor. Its origins go back to Ishikawa prefecture.

Rather stubby and short yet rather thick ( about 8 cm long, 22-25cm in diameter) , it is juicy and smooth yet firm.

It can be eaten raw in salads by being sliced. Can also be added to any soups.

Grated and mixed with honey and hot water,  it can make a nice natural remedy for strep throat. 

When it's cooked, it won't melt/fall apart very easily so it can be used in a variety of dishes such as oden or soups. Also great when grated raw.

Approximately 1 kg.

 

源助だいこんは、ずんぐりとした円筒形で、肉質が柔らかく肌がきれいなことから、「天下一品の味」と関西市場で評価され、石川県の特産物として不動の地位を築いた。加賀野菜“源助だいこん”は、早生種で肉質がやわらかく、だいこんらしい歯ざわりで煮くずれしにくく、煮物用だいこんの代表品種で、おでんには最高である。

根部の形状は根径8cm、根長22〜25cmの短円筒形で尻のつまりがよい。
