mmmm, Azuki bread :)

I’ve seen 大根 in not only the Asian markets, like H-Mart and Pacific Mercantile for me locally, but it has been appearing in general market grocery stores as well. I’m in the Denver area, so I’ve seen it as King Soopers, but not at Safeway yet. I don’t go to Safeway as much so it would be easily missed by me.
You will likely be drying it yourself though as I’ve only seen it as-is/raw. I just came across this today, I’ll have to show my son when her gets home from school as he doesn’t believe me on allot of the foods and student responsibilities.

@Ryan A: Azuki bread is good but not as good as it could be. I’m tempted to try making an oatmeal raisin azuki cookie though.

@Demzon: Thanks so much! I’m originally from a small town in the US but will be moving to a larger city when I return so I will check out the supermarkets for daikon. I know to dry it, you just hang it outside and let weather turn it into vegggie leather but I don’t know if the climates are compatible. Maybe I can slow roast it in the oven or something. Glad you found my site useful and thanks for stopping by!

It always strikes me that kids who grow up on these Japanese school lunches will probably live way longer than those on the American diet… Oh and apparently aurora sauce is a mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup (I hope this information is wrong since me no like ketchup XD)?
