Remember that dip we had at Donpachi in Sendai?
Well, I found the tsukemono, Iburi Gakko (smoked pickles in Akita dialect).
Smoked Daikon, a type of pickle from Akita Prefecture.
I used about a 2-inch sized piece and chopped it up.
Then mixed with some cream cheese.
No real recipe.
I also found those Levain crackers, the ones that are made in Japan.
NOTES: This is great on crackers, but I am thinking it might be nice put in with a tuna sandwich too.
I'm making this again.

wow, this sounds so interesting! I wonder if other kinds of strong flavored tsukemono mixed with cream cheese would be good too. I just bought some really dried daikon tsukemono called gonjiri from Takeya and think I'll try mixing it with cream cheese!

Wait . . . what? Smoked daikon? Mixed with cream cheese? How interesting!!
I think you could use any type of strong flavored tsukemono, V, I often mix kim chee with cream cheese and kim chee is quite strong...will look forward to seeing your concoctions :)
different but ono, Jalna :)
Take care you two.
