5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty and crunchy
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2024
I've purchased this product many many times. It comes well packed. It is tasty, not too salty and crunchy. I cut up and add to kimchi or slice and package with some of the juices and eat for a bite sized snack. It's on the pricey side but more convenient than trying to find an asian store near me. Enjoy

1.0 out of 5 stars Different color and smell
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024
I have ordered this product several times and have been generally been satisfied with the taste and texture. However this shipment is close to disgusting. The color is not the usual yellow but almost gold, brown and darker inside with a rancid smell. I immediately refrigerate this product when received. It was not left outside once delivered. However it looks to be either old (expiration date is July 2024) not stored properly or both. The texture should be crunchy and somewhat crisp…which this one is almost mushy. I am not sure if this order came from the same vendor as the other ones I received. That may be a reason for the difference in quality.
Very disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for me
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2024
This takuan is slightly on the sweet side which I like. Kind of like Maui takuan. I saw other reviews but my shipment had good color and is crunchy. I cut it up and put it in a jar of rice vinegar. Great value compared to other brands I’ve bought.

I was excited to splurge on this as it was my favorite snack while living in South Korea. However, it left me very disappointed (especially for the price and time it took to be delivered after ordering it). I don't know if it was the fault of the shipping company or not as it clearly states to keep refrigerated. But it was shipped on Sunday and I didn't get it until Wednesday not only unrefrigerated, but also very warm as it is summer. The texture is rubbery almost to the point of being like a bad pickle whereas it should be crisp with a slight snap/crack when biting into it. It's also not as strong flavored as the ones in South Korea (even the convenience store ones), and again I'm not sure if it's the product or how it was delivered to me. I was hoping for a small taste of home with my gimbap, but I guess I'll have to try to find diakon radish and make my own next time. ????

1.0 out of 5 stars Rancid and wasn’t refrigerated
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2024
The item came absolutely discolored and mushy. It had a foul odor. I’ve eaten pickled radishes my whole life in my mom’s gimbap and this was very off putting. Going to an Asian market or grocer is probably the best choice and what I should have done in the first place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks to Grandma
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2024
My grandmother, Fujiko, used to serve this to me when i was growing up. I am American and recently someone ordered this for me. I was so happy I cried! Now i eat it very often with different dishes. I always would try to sneak more as a child and i would get in trouble. Now she cant stop me :) RIP Grandma Fuji!
