Kitazawa Seed company advertises "Minowase Summer Cross Hybrid" as a Japanese hybrid Daikon, tapered root 12-14" long, plant early spring or early summer for fall harvest, 53 days to maturity. Mildly pungent, especially suitable for pickling. The Kitazawa catalog number is #103. I'm guessing that's the same as, or at least similar to, "Minowase Summer Cross #3".
Hazzards also offers "Radish Daikon Minowase".
This is a different variety from "Mino Early", which matures in 40 days, and may be used somewhat more often in soup.

A 53 day, long white hybrid. A very good performer here. Pure white roots get 16 inches long and about 2.5 inches in diameter. I grow them as winter radishes, but they germinated and started well in September heat.
