At the supermarket, I found something called "butter-flavored fried garlic" from Momoya, which is famous for "spicy and not spicy slightly spicy ra oil" and "rice!" I was curious about the attractive combination of butter and fried garlic, so I tried it.

Momoya butter flavored fried garlic

A blend of crispy fried garlic, garlic powder and grated garlic. Add fried onion and sesame seeds and season with soy sauce and butter.


Each bottle contains 58g (2.05oz), which is equivalent to about 30 small-sized raw garlic. The purchase price at a supermarket in Tokyo was 294 yen (excluding tax).

As for the impression I tasted, the butter flavor is stronger than I imagined! At first, the sweetness of butter is strong, and the flavor of garlic gradually spreads as you chew it.


The taste is a little different from the so-called "garlic butter", probably because soy sauce is also used. The sweetness of butter stands out. The grain texture of sesame seeds and the fragrance that is different from garlic add a nice accent.


It's not very salty in itself, so if you try to eat rice alone, you'll end up with a lot of it. If you're worried about the calories and strength of the garlic, you may want to start by combining it with other sprinkles or adding a little bit to the egg-cooked rice.


Other than sprinkling on rice, we recommend toppings on salads, soups, and stir-fried foods. It tastes a little soy sauce, but the butter is strong and it doesn't feel strange even if it matches the Western style. If you have one, garlic lovers will be happy.
