Hokkaido Onion Soup is a convenient, flavorful soup that captures the rich taste and natural sweetness of locally grown onions. The Kitami region of Hokkaido is Japan’s leading onion-producing area, accounting for approximately 30% of the country’s total onion harvest.
Made by Green Kitami Co., Ltd., this popular soup uses a concentrated extract obtained from onions grown in Kitami. The extract is processed into a powder and incorporated into a granulated soup mix, making up as much as 40% of the ingredients in each serving stick. This generous use of onion extract gives the soup its deep, savory flavor and satisfying richness.
Simply add hot water to enjoy a warming cup of authentic onion soup. Its convenience makes it an easy way to savor the distinctive flavor of Hokkaido onions at home or while traveling.
The soup mix also works wonderfully as a seasoning. Add it to curry, fried rice, simmered dishes, and other recipes to enhance their savory depth and bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients. It is a practical and tasty souvenir for anyone who wants to take a little of Hokkaido’s agricultural bounty home.
