Tokyo Negi (Japanese Long Onion)

Quantity/Pack:
Seasonality: Year-round
Origin: USA

Experience a delightful twist on the classic allium with Melissa's Tokyo Negi, also known as the Japanese Long Onion. Tokyo Negi boasts long, slender white stalks that look somewhere in between a leek and a scallion. In Japan, you might find it in miso, okonomiyaki (seafood pancake), or yakitori.

Enjoy it raw, cooked, or pickled! Thinly chiffonade Tokyo Negi adds a vibrant pop of color and a touch of oniony sweetness to salads, noodle dishes (think Ramen!), and sushi. Sautéed or grilled, it develops a deeper caramelized sweetness that complements savory dishes like stir-fries, braises, and stews.

To experience the best of Tokyo Negi, look for firm, white stalks with minimal yellowing and a fresh, grassy aroma. Store yours upright in the refrigerator, loosely wrapped, for up to 5 days.
