Negi

S tier

Negi is the Japanese bunching onion—often thicker and longer than Western scallions, with substantial white shafts from blanching soil or deep planting. Flavour is sweet when grilled or simmered, sharp raw. Central to nabe, ramen, and negiyaki-style dishes. Grill until charred-sweet, slice into soups, or use as a vegetable not just garnish. Tokyo and Kyoto styles differ in thickness. The premium culinary spring onion of Japanese cuisine.
