Locals have long eaten it as a pickle, and in recent years it has been used as a condiment for soba noodles, sashimi, grilled meat, and other dishes. It is gaining popularity for its unique spiciness, which is different from that of chili peppers and wasabi. Grating it without peeling it enhances its pungency and flavor, and makes it more delicious.
