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

Once, I bought some sweet onions and natto when I'd forgotten that I'd already ordered them for delivery from my co-op, and so ended up with excess sweet onions and natto!I came up with this recipe as a way to use them up.While they are frying, do not touch them.Even if they break apart while flipping them, they will stick back together by shifting the batter back in place with a spoon.You could pour in half the batter to make a large flat cake, but when I tried to pour all of the batter in, it was a challenge to flip it over.I recommend making 6-7 small flat cakes.
