With respect to a large majority of takuan-zuke that is distributed today, instead of hiboshi daikon (sun-dried daikon radish), shio-oshi daikon (salt-cured daikon radish) or toshibori daikon (sugar-cured daikon radish), the daikon radish which has been salted or soaked in syrup to reduce its water content is often used.
現在流通している大多数の沢庵漬けでは、日干し大根の代わりに塩や糖液に漬けて水分を除いた塩押し大根や糖絞り大根を使用することが多い。
