It is widely considered the best of its class of turnips, and there is even an annual festival to celebrate this legendary local veggie. The Miyama stars in many fine Japanese dishes, from hot pots, salads, pickles, and soups to the delectable Senmaizuke, or thousand sheet pickle, where it is sliced impossibly thin and preserved with kelp and sweet vinegar.
