Kitami Onion

These are Kitami's pride and joy, perfect for elevating curries and soups. The Kitami region is a major production hub, accounting for approximately 40% of Japan's total onion production. Low rainfall, long hours of sunlight, and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night create onions with firm flesh and intense sweetness. By staggering the planting seasons, they can continue shipping from August until the following spring, an ingenuity that supports their position as the top producer in Japan. While they have a sharp bite when raw, the true charm of Kitami onions is how they become melt-in-your-mouth sweet when cooked. Simply adding them to curries, soups, or stir-fries brings a much deeper flavor to your everyday dishes. You'll find yourself wanting to make these sweet onions, nurtured by the northern lands, the star of your cooking.
