This was a veggie roll, and besides the cuck and avocado and radish

what it was...seemed pickled, very lightly, and didn't seem daikonish in

Steve is probably right. Other possibilities include either gobo
(burdock root) or dried shiitakes simmered in a soy/sugar mixture.
The latter is particularly savory.
