In Season Sweet Onion and Shio-koji Ohitashi

Our family's way to enjoy sweet onions is to eat them raw, and as simply as possible.
I usually use soy sauce, but this time I tried using shio-koji. A bit of soy sauce is added for fragrance.

To keep the sweetness and the nutrition of the sweet onions, don't soak in water.
When this is freshly made, the harshness and sweetness of the onion are well defined, but as it rests the sweetness becomes more dominant.
Drink up the liquid too! This ohitashi will help keep your blood clean. Recipe by Mimato
