Tajiri's Senshu Onions

Tajiri Town is the 'birthplace of onion cultivation in Japan.' This land is closely connected to Senshu onions, as it was where three individuals, including Sajihei Imai, began cultivation. In 1884, Sajihei Imai and two others from Yoshimi obtained seeds from Americans in the foreign settlement of Kobe and began cultivation. To honor their achievement, a monument titled 'Monument to the Ancestor of Senshu Onion Cultivation' was erected at Kasuga Shrine in 1913. Today, efforts are also being made to revive the cultivation of 'Yoshimi Wase,' a native variety that had once disappeared. Sweet and tender, Senshu onions are delicious raw, and when heated, they become even sweeter and more exquisite with a melting texture. Please try this single bulb that carries on a continuous history inherited from our predecessors.
