Remove wagyu beef from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Pat completely dry with paper towels and season all sides lightly with sea salt and black pepper.
Prepare the ponzu sauce by combining coconut aminos, lime juice, lemon juice, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Whisk well and set aside to let flavors meld.
Grate the daikon radish and ginger using a fine grater. Squeeze excess moisture from the daikon by wrapping in cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel. Keep grated ingredients separate.
Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until smoking. Add avocado oil and swirl to coat. Carefully place the wagyu beef in the pan and sear for 45-60 seconds per side, creating a thin crust while keeping the interior rare.
Transfer the seared beef immediately to a cutting board and let rest for 3 minutes. Using an extremely sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Arrange beef slices in an overlapping pattern on serving plates. Top each slice with a small mound of grated daikon and a tiny amount of grated ginger. Drizzle ponzu sauce around the plate and garnish with green onions, microgreens, and shiso leaves if using.
