Kinokuniya, a high-class supermarket that operates mainly in Tokyo. I would like to introduce the "black garlic from Aomori prefecture" that I found here because it had an unexpected taste and was interesting.

Black garlic from Aomori prefecture

The only raw material is black garlic from Aomori prefecture. It is said that it is aged in high temperature and humidity to reduce the dullness, but the garlic scent is considerable.



Peel the thin skin and you will see a black garlic. Ordinary garlic is smooth when peeled, but this one is moist.


When you put it in your mouth, it has a soft and sticky mouthfeel and is really sweet! Along with the mellow flavor of garlic, a rich and rich sweetness like dry prunes spreads. The unexpected combination is too much and thinking stops for a moment.


Personally, I wanted yogurt that I always eat with dry prunes. It tastes like dried fruit, which is so close.

You can feel the flavor of garlic while eating, but if you swallow it, it won't remain in your mouth. Perhaps this is reducing the dullness. It's just subjective, so it's safer to avoid eating it before meeting people.

And when I ate a lot of them in good condition, the sign of my stomach became a little disturbed immediately afterwards. It's very stimulating, so it seems better to eat only one at a time.


Of course, it's delicious, but Kinokuniya's black garlic has a more shocking unexpected taste. Those who want a fresh experience in food should find it interesting to try! The price is 1,080 yen (tax included) with 110g (3.88oz).
