I thought they were screwing with me when they said that was burdock, because to me, it really was carrot-y. and lo and behold, the picture in your post above is what we had! except, very spicy. good tho. so funny; I was at ushiwakamaru recently and had asked for a vegetable roll, using all of the veggies they might have behind the counter, and asking as well for burdock (what I know as a brown thing, folded usually and rolled into maki) but getting instead this spicy marinated vegetable that looked (and tasted) suspiciously like carrot.
