The Rare Premium Onion
Shimonita Negi is a premium onion cultivated in Shimonita Town, Gunma since ancient times, said to have been offered to the Edo shogun. Despite its thin, short appearance, heating brings out an extraordinarily sweet and melting texture.
Perfect for Hot Pot Dishes
Shimonita Negi reaches its maximum sweetness in hot pot and steamed dishes. Adding to sukiyaki is the standard preparation, where the onion becomes a starring ingredient.
Combined with Arafune Cold Air Pit
Shimonita Town also has the Arafune Cold Air Pit, a component of the World Heritage "Tomioka Silk Mill and Silk Industry Heritage Sites." Travel plans combining silk industry history and local food culture are well-developed.
