Introduction
This is a recreated recipe for 'Konomon,' a local delicacy from the Goto Islands featured in the anime 'Barakamon.' By drying the daikon radish to remove excess moisture, the pickles achieve a delightful, crunchy texture, allowing the sweet and savory soy-based marinade to soak deep into the vegetable. It is the perfect accompaniment to freshly cooked rice.
Step 1
Peel the daikon radish with a peeler, cut into 1cm thick rounds, and then cut each round into quarters to create ginkgo leaf shapes.
Step 2
Arrange the cut daikon on a bamboo colander without overlapping and dry them using a fan (or air-dry) until moisture has evaporated and they become slightly limp.
Step 3
Add soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar to a pot, bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar completely, then let it cool thoroughly.
Step 4
Place the dried daikon and the halved dried chili peppers into a storage container, pour the cooled marinade over them. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for half a day to overnight.
Step 5
Add rice and water to a clay pot and cook until the rice is fluffy.

Important Notes
💡 Thoroughly drying the daikon is key to creating its signature crunchy texture.
⚠️ Always ensure the marinade has cooled completely before pouring it over the daikon. Pouring it while warm will spoil the texture of the radish.
✨ Adjust the balance of sweetness and acidity to your personal preference.
