Is this just to make the plate look pretty or am I supposed to eat this?

That’s daikon, usually eaten with sashimi to give it some texture in the absence of rice. Never seen it served with a roll

Usually that is shredded white radish, perfectly fine to eat

I personally like the spiralized daikon as a palate cleanser or to scoop up more sauce or wasabi. Most people I eat with consider it a garnish but it’s tasty and fresh!

I like to eat it between pieces of nigiri as almost a little palate** cleanser
Ancient-Chinglish
mmm I always eat it
wrainbashed
It’s daikon used for palate cleansing between dishes similar to ginger. you can 100% eat.

Yes. I usually dip it in the soy sauce & wasabi and eat with fish. It’s the only radish I eat.

I eat the daikon all the time
sausageandeggbiscuit

CanAny1DoItRight
Absolutely!! I even eat grated daikon on its own over rice with some wasabi and shoyu.
psychspace25

Daikon tastes pretty amazing with sush

It’s often used as garnish but I tend to eat at least a chunk of it because it is usually pretty good healthy food IMO.

Think of it as a Soy & Wasabi delivery system. You’re welcome! 😁

“Supposed” to?
As usual, the answer is – yes, if you want to.

Daikon and yes. But Wtf am I looking at? Looks like a tempura deep fried Cali roll that was rolled with the 1/2 sheet the long ways so it only makes 4 pieces? Those look freakin huge. Was it a multiple bite thing like a cookie? Mmm… warm cucumber avo… Definitely random.

Yes! It’s delightfully refreshing =]

Typically, it’s used as a bed beneath the fish, both to separate it from the plate and to enhance presentation. It also helps maintain the proper temperature. Sometimes freshly cut fish releases a little blood, and the radish absorbs it rather than letting it spread across the plate. Finally, the daikon itself is chilled, which helps keep the fish cool, especially if the plate is still slightly warm from the dishwasher.

Its very healthy for you.

I’ve always eaten it because I like daikon and it’s rude to waste food IMO 🤷🏼♀️
Mi_lkyWay
I sometimes dip it in just a slight bit of Kikkoman soy sauce.

You can eat this daikon but I find it bland but crunchy. Likely very cleansing for fiber
ajinthebay
yes! its so refreshing!

People who put shit on a plate that can’t be eaten should be jailed.

It’s radish. You can eat.

Tsuma is the term a sushi chef would use for the daikon, it is there to prop up the fish, for a less flat presentation. Also obviously nice to eat, especially nice if cut by hand instead of the spiralizing machine.

Daikon and soy sauce is nice… It’s also a source of fiber.
I eat garnishes all the time. That’s daikon, a mild radish with excellent crunch factor. Sometimes I grab a little with the piece of roll I’m eating, sometimes eat plain in between different rolls like I would the ginger. Up to you! It’s all made up, the rules don’t matter
The_goat_42
The rule is if it’s on the plate it’s supposed to be edible
jpb1111
All garnishes are supposed to be edible. You paid for it….
philipito
Nothing will ever be served to you on a plate in the US that isn’t edible.
lemeneurdeloups
Sure. Or not. Up to you. It’s an edible garnish bed to display the sushi.
Designed to be eaten for sure.
But no one cares if you don’t.
Sometimes I just enjoy that bit of fresh crunch with a dab of shoyu at the end and sometimes I am full on sashimi or sushi and the tsuma is too soaked in fishy juice …
alexwwang
Yes, I ate this to clear my mouth before the next piece of sushi or sashimi. It’s also a good fav to eat this with a little soy sauce when you finished the main dish.
