Why You Should Visit

Koto Kyoto, a grower of Kyoto's Kujo green onions (Kujo negi), holds a festival at Kamigamo Shrine to offer its onions to the shrine. Timed just before 9 December, which the company has registered as "Koto Kujo Negi Day", the event brings Kyoto chefs into the shrine grounds to cook and sell original dishes built around the onion. Expect Kujo negi manju from the kaiseki restaurant Chikumoro, Kujo negi udon, quiche, Korean pancake rolls and more, along with Koto Kyoto's own negiyaki. There is also an onion-peeling activity and an art class where you draw Kyoto vegetables. A good choice if you want to taste the onion in season while wandering a World Heritage shrine.
