small.
Chinese garlic is smaller in size than
domestically produced ones.

garlic is different from Japanese garlic and its safety standard is low.
Garlic in China may use prohibited pesticides in
Japan, or various chemicals such as preservatives may be used during
transportation.
However, not all Chinese garlic are not safe. Even those made in China with the JAS mark can be said to be highly safe garlic that meets Japan’s safety standards.
