Ingredients

Daikon radish 150g ... Cut into 1.5cm thick slices, then halve or quarter them
Oysters 8 pieces ... Rinse lightly
Burdock root 50g ... Thinly shaved and deep-fried (oil not listed in ingredients) until crispy
Yuzu As needed ... Julienne
<Mixed Seasoning>
Dashi stock 150ml
Red miso 35g
Sake lees 20g or more (to taste) ... Dissolve in some dashi stock
Sugar 15g
Sake 1 tbsp
Mirin 1 tbsp
Soy sauce 1 tsp

Instructions

  1. In a pot, add the daikon radish and just enough water (preferably rice-washing water) to cover. Simmer until a skewer can pierce through.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add salt, and blanch the oysters for about 10 seconds. Drain and pat dry.
  3. In a pot, combine the cooked daikon radish from step 1 and the <Mixed Seasoning>. Heat until boiling, then simmer on low for 7-8 minutes.
  4. Add the oysters from step 2 to the pot and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to coat. Plate the daikon and oysters, then reduce the remaining broth to thicken slightly and pour over.
  5. Garnish with crispy fried burdock and sprinkle with julienned yuzu.
