Tokinashi Daikon Radish Seeds

Tokinashi Daikon Radish Seeds – Big Flavor, Crunchy Fun from Garden to Table!

Looking to grow something unique, delicious, and downright impressive in your garden? Meet the Tokinashi Daikon Radish—a classic Japanese heirloom radish that’s as fun to grow as it is to eat! These crisp, white beauties can reach a whopping 10–14 inches long and about 2 inches wide, tapering down to a neat point. And the flavor? Mild, slightly sweet, and oh-so-refreshing—especially when grown in cooler fall weather.

Why you’ll love growing Tokinashi Daikon: This radish is a superstar in the garden and the kitchen. Grate it fresh over salads for a crunchy kick, add it to kimchi or salt-pickle it for winter snacks, or toss it into soups and stir-fries for a savory bite and meaty texture. It’s a must-have ingredient for fans of Japanese cuisine—or just anyone who loves homegrown flavor.

Easy to Grow (Even if You’re New to This!):

• Planting Time: Direct sow anytime from spring to mid-summer. For the sweetest flavor, plant in late summer for a fall harvest.
• Spacing & Depth: Sow seeds ½” deep, 2” apart in rows 18” apart. Thin to 4–6” apart once they’re up and growing.
• Germination: Expect sprouts in 3–6 days—longer in cooler soil.
• Soil Tips: Loose, well-draining soil (like sandy loam or raised beds) helps these radishes grow long and straight.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist for happy, healthy roots.

Harvest & Storage: Harvest when roots are full-sized. If it's hot out, don’t wait too long or they might get pithy. In cooler weather, they can chill in the soil a bit longer. These daikons store beautifully and stay crisp when pickled or kept cool.

Bonus for Seed Savers:
Want to save your own seeds? Let a few plants overwinter (daikons are biennial), and they'll flower after some chill time. Just be sure to isolate them—they love to cross with other radishes!

Fun Fact: Tokinashi means “without time” in Japanese—maybe because this radish doesn’t care much when you plant it, as long as it’s in cool soil. That’s flexibility we can all appreciate in the garden!

Whether you’re growing for the crunch, the flavor, or the wow factor of pulling up a monster radish, Tokinashi Daikon is a garden favorite you’ll be planting again and again.

Your seeds are waiting—let’s grow something delicious!
