Takuan diet
My friend continued eating a menu (rice, Takuan, miso soup) and lost 5 kg in one month.It is the eating habits like the old priest.It is “Shojin” definitely.However, Takuan doesn’t contains abundant nutrition.Besides, the people having high blood pressure should not eat it because salt is abundant.Two slices are just right per day.

Canned Takuan
Originally Takuan is preservation food.About 300 years ago, the priest Mr.Takuan devised Takuan to preserve a Japanese radish.And, in the present age, it was canned so that is preserved during a longer period.
