Fresh Japan Gobo, commonly known as burdock root, is a long, slender root vegetable with a rough, earthy skin and a nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
In Japanese cuisine, Gobo is highly regarded for its crunchy texture and nutritional value, often used in traditional dishes like Kinpira Gobo (sautéed burdock root) and as a key ingredient in miso soup and stews.
Chefs also utilize Gobo in pickles and salads, where its distinctive taste and texture add a rustic, wholesome element to the dishes.
