As osechi food (special food for New Years in Japan), "kohaku-namasu" is often used, which is made by slicing "daikon" (Japanese radish) and carrot, marinating them with sweet vinegar and seasoning them with a flavor of Japanese lemon peel.
正月の御節料理としては、ごく細く切ったダイコンとニンジンを甘酢で漬け、ユズの皮で香りをつけた紅白膾（こうはくなます）が用いられることが多い。
