Large central hearths, which were used to warm homes during the harsh snowy winters, also served as a place to cook. Fresh daikon (Japanese radish) was hung over the fire to slowly dry—the first step in making smoked takuan. These days, hearths have been replaced by gas stoves, and the winter tradition of making takuan has almost disappeared, so this is a unique and rare product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kokoro Care","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41623667376174,"sku":"SISM048","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/0394\/7579\/files\/Iburigakko_SmokedPickledDaikonRadish_Stick_2.png?v=1764488730","url":"https:\/\/kokorocares.com\/ja\/products\/iburigakko-smoked-pickled-daikon-radish-stick","provider":"Kokoro Care","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
