Yuzaki Nebuka

When you taste cooked Nebuka, it becomes incredibly soft and melts in your mouth, releasing a sweetness that is hard to believe comes from a green onion. Yuzaki Nebuka is a native variety of green onion passed down through generations in Yuzaki, Kawanishi Town, and is one of Nara's traditional 'Yamato Vegetables'. Its cultivation history is said to date back to the Muromachi period. Its defining features are its soft green leaves and a rich, melting sweetness. Rather than being used merely as a condiment, it is a vegetable meant to be enjoyed on its own. Due to its extreme tenderness, it was not suitable for mass distribution and once nearly disappeared; however, it was brilliantly revived by local residents in 2002. When added to hot pots or simmered dishes, its melting texture and sweetness are further enhanced. We invite you to experience the true potential of this onion, which was once known as a 'phantom' vegetable.
