Garlic in Aomori Prefecture produces more than 70% of the whole of Japan.
Our garlic is an effort to quality. We do not use agricultural chemicals etc. which have been confirmed as carcinogenic using organic fertilizer.

We can offer very high quality garlic.
Japanese garlic cultivation method
In Aomori Prefecture, planting of garlic starts from late September. One month before planting, we mix a lot of organic fertilizer in the soil and nourish the soil.
The compost amount is 2 kg of compost per 1 m2 The height of the earth will be about 10 cm.
In Japan we use vinyl sheets on the soil. If we use this weed will not grow because no air enters. In other words, it can nourish only garlic. As a result, garlic in Takko Town gets tasty and large grain garlic grows.
The planting width is 150 mm
Ridge width is 400 mm
Ridge height is 100 mm

winter
Bud will emerge in about 10 days after planting. After that, snow falls in Aomori and garlic winter over. Aomori Prefecture is the largest heavy snowy zone in Japan. This harsh environment increases the sugar content of garlic.
spring
Spring will spread charcoal to speed up thawing. This charcoal also contains nutrients to become fertilizer It encourages the growth of garlic.
Spring to Summer
As snow melts away, garlic shoots in the sun and grows abruptly.
Harvest garlic
One bud usually grows from the seed of one ball, but since Aomori’s garlic is large, there are cases where buds grow with 2 or 3 buds.
In that case, leave a thick stem, one and remove the rest.
The harvest of garlic will be done once the leaf begins to wither. The harvest season is wrapped in the scent of town garlic.
Aomori’s garlic is characterized by white like snow.
The raw rice garlic is a seasonal garlic that can be tasted only once a year.
