Overview
Japanese Minowase (listed as Diakon Radish 'Japanese Minowase') is a long-popular Japanese daikon whose giant white roots can reach 24 inches long and 3 inches thick. The flesh is sweet and very crisp, and it is equally at home pickled, stir-fried, steamed or raw. Seed germinates in 3 to 6 days at soil temperatures of about 50 to 75 F; sow a quarter inch deep, space about 2 inches, and give full sun. Plants are frost hardy, so a late-summer sowing can run into cool weather.
