Shinchi Chives
Shinchi Town, the northern gateway to Fukushima Prefecture, is a town putting great effort into chive cultivation with the goal of becoming a brand-name production area. Approximately 30 farms are involved, growing them in greenhouses throughout the year. Chives from Shinchi Town are characterized by their thick leaves, vibrant deep green color, and strong aroma. Because they are less affected by typhoons and can be produced according to plan, they are a crop chosen even by new farmers. The peak season is from late December through spring, with harvesting continuing until around April. Whether used in dumplings, stir-fried liver and chives, or blanched as ohitashi, their sweetness and aroma enhance the more they are cooked. These thick-leaved chives, grown with plenty of sunlight, possess a freshness that differs from commercially available products. They are a pride of Shinchi, adding color to the winter dining table.
