Yuzu Flavored Daikon Radish

We have a big yuzu tree in our farm, and we also grow daikon radish - so I wanted to make some yuzu-daikon. I used the yuzu-daikon sold in stores as a reference point and went through several trials before creating this recipe.

The amount of salt is determined by the weight of the daikon radish, so please be sure to weigh out 1 kg. (You can weigh it unpeeled.) I recommend you use coarsely ground salt.
Make sure to take off the bitter white pith from the yuzu peel before cutting it into a fine julienne. Recipe by FarmersK
