Kinpira Gobo is one of the most popular appetizers or side dishes in Japanese home cooking. In my personal experiences, my grand mother and mother always cooked it alot all at once and save them in the refrigerator as pre-made food. It lasts for 3-5 days in a refrigerator.
It is good itself and also good with rice. I usually eat it as an appetizer with beer. Gobo’s crunchy texture and soy sauce and sugar based sauce is something you would love for sure! Must try!
