<h3>Japan</h3>
The plant is known as wakegi (ワケギ) "split scallion" in Japan. Considered a specialty of the <a href="/facts/Hiroshima_Prefecture/wqcNjVbL">Hiroshima Prefecture</a>, it is used in local cooking similar to other scallions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a>

In Korea, Allium × proliferum along with <a href="/facts/Allium_fistulosum/5wG54RPE">A. fistulosum</a> is called pa (파, "scallion"), while common <a href="/facts/Onion/2ajXf00d">onions</a> are called yangpa (양파, "Western scallion"). While A. × proliferum is called jjokpa (쪽파, "separated scallion"), A. fistulosum is called either <a href="/facts/Daepa/5wG54RPE">daepa</a> (대파, "big scallion") or <a href="/facts/Silpa/5wG54RPE">silpa</a> (실파, "thread scallion") depending on the size. Unlike daepa and silpa, which are usually used as a spice, herb, or garnish, jjokpa is often used as the main ingredient of various scallion dishes in <a href="/facts/Korean_cuisine/1LwXkYTw">Korean cuisine</a>. Common dishes made with jjokpa include <a href="/facts/Pajeon/fVU2JR2H">pajeon</a> (scallion pancakes) and <a href="/facts/Pa-kimchi/4kIfep3q">pa-kimchi</a> (scallion kimchi).
