Description
Shimonita Negi (下仁田ねぎ) — Gunma
Cultivated in the crisp inland climate of Gunma Prefecture, Shimonita negi is a celebrated Japanese heirloom leek prized for its exceptional sweetness and rich aroma. Grown slowly through the cold months, the stalks thicken and store natural sugars, reaching their peak flavor in winter.
When heated, Shimonita negi transforms beautifully—its firm layers soften into a melting, silky texture, releasing a deep sweetness balanced by gentle umami. Unlike ordinary green onions, it has almost no harshness, making it especially beloved in traditional Japanese winter dishes.
Serving Suggestion:
Slice into thick segments and add to hot pot or sukiyaki. As it simmers, the negi becomes meltingly tender, releasing its natural sweetness into the broth while absorbing rich umami flavors. Enjoy as a comforting winter hot pot ingredient.
