Umeshiso flavored lotus root and daikon radish

Rengon (lotus root) and daikon (Japanese radish) are prepared with sweet and sour ume plum and fresh shiso leaves for a refreshing meal during the warmer months.


A bite of the dish reveals that the lotus root is crunchy, but at the same time crispy and pleasant to the palate. The daikon radish is slightly firm and crispy, making each bite enjoyable.


The sourness, saltiness, and fruity smell of neri ume (Japanese apricot kernels) is present throughout the dish, and is well complemented by the fresh aroma of fragrant sesame seeds and chopped shiso leaves. A small amount of sliced onion is also added to give the dish a deep flavor.



It is suitable not only as a beer snack, but also as an onigiri (rice ball) companion. On a hot day, it is not a bad idea to have it for lunch with cold green tea, oolong tea, or barley tea.
