When I go to Japanese curry restuarants the curry usually comes with red colored radishes...what's the name of this radish? It looks like Daikon but it has a sweet flavor. Can I find it at Japanese markets?

usually brown but they add food coloring

Answer 2

It is Fukujinzuke!

It's a Japanese type of pickle, that gets relished and used as curry.

You can buy it on amazon.com, so I'm sure you can buy it in Japanese markets!
