■About Awaji Island Onions
Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture is famously known as one of Japan's leading "Onion Kingdoms." Hyogo Prefecture boasts one of the highest onion harvests in the country. Awaji Island onions, renowned for being sweet, soft, and juicy, are a famous local product. Their deliciousness has a secret unique to Awaji Island. First, "long hours of sunshine and a warm Seto Inland Sea climate," and second, "well-drained, fertile soil rich in minerals carried by the sea breeze." These growing conditions produce their sweetness, juiciness, and tender flesh.
■A family curry that makes both children and adults ask for "more."
With one bite, the gentle sweetness of Awaji Island onions spreads. This new curry makes family meals more enjoyable and delicious. Please bring home this curry, which will be the "center of family gatherings" where you'll hear calls for "more."
