Tasty: Daikon Miyashige White Radish

Daikon Miyashige White Orgnaic Radishes
Each of these is 6-8" long. Very tasty... not too strong at all. Seed from Botanical Interests. Here's their blurb:

Radish Daikon Miyashige White Organic Heirloom Seed

Raphanus sativus

60 days. Young shredded daikon radishes are often used in sushi, but their light, crunchy, slightly spicy flavor is a unique addition to many other dishes. Mature daikon is pickled or cooked; add to stir-fries or soups. Daikon is a “winter radish,” requiring a longer time to develop than spring radishes, and cool temperatures to mature the edible root. To grow successfully, sow in mid- to late summer or early fall.
This packet plants three 5 foot rows.
Let's think this through. Fifteen feet of 7" radishes is A LOT. Fortunately, if stored in a cool dry place, radish seeds have a shelf life of about five years. (More information of seed storage longevities here.)
