Kimura Tsukemono

Located in Tahara, Aichi Prefecture, Kimura Tsukemono is a family-run business founded in 1951, specializing in takuan made from traditional white daikon. Rejected by conventional circuits for its low water content and firmness, this ancient vegetable is nevertheless ideal for long fermentation: it produces a takuan that is naturally crunchy, tasty and stable over time. Kimura's aim is to make the most of rare know-how, using modern techniques to cultivate and process a demanding ingredient that is now under threat.
