(Excerpted from the Internet)

You can use them in cooking similarly to shallots or rakkyo. Peel off the outer brown skin, trim off the top and bottom ends (where the stem and roots were), and then cook.

Raw (Shallot Style): Thinly slice and use as a garnish for seared bonito or cold tofu, or enjoy as a snack with miso or mayonnaise.

Foil-Baked / Deep-Fried: Foil-bake them whole with olive oil and salt, or deep-fry them. The spiciness disappears, and their sweet, fluffy flavor is enhanced.

Pickled in Sweet Vinegar / Soy Sauce: Pickling them like rakkyo allows you to enjoy them as a long-lasting side dish.

Store the bulbs in a net or bag in a well-ventilated area.

From summer to autumn, plant the seed bulbs with the sprouts facing up, about 10-15 cm apart, ensuring the tip of the sprout is just covered by soil.
Depending on the size of the seed bulb, plant 2-3 bulbs together as one plant. They can be grown in fields or planters.
