The pond is cleaned out and being prepared to serve as the summer chicken coop, since the only time

Kiri-boshi Daikon (Cut Dried Radish)
The pond is cleaned out and being prepared to serve as the summer chicken coop, since the only time we really need that much water is to melt snow in Winter, this year we will partition most of it off to give us a much welcome additional plot of land. Mona was a big help in scooping out a lot of the mud and debris that had accumulated since last spring. cosco line
The kame-mushi are out again today. These photos are after I had already opened the kitchen window once to let several hundred escape. Within a few minutes it looked like this again. Although I know they are edible, and actually gathered for food in some countries, and I even have the recipe for how to prepare them, I have yet to get the courage to take the next step.
In past years she has just cut them by hand with a knife, cosco line but that is *really* a lot of work. This year she used a regular grater with the coarse grate. This tool and action is called “daiko(n)-tsuki”. They are then sun dried. You could of course use a drier machine but sun dried produces vitamin D when the daikon is exposed to sun. It also brings out much more flavor and makes sweeter cosco line and a better texture.
