Link with the Production Area

In a large production area with a long history of white onion cultivation, an original variety of Tottori Prefecture that was bred by improving local varieties is used. Besides the variety of characteristics, producers take advantage of the area's natural conditions, such as fertile soil and cold winters, and perform careful fertility management, cultivation and shipping only during winter when the onions become sweet.
