What is Black Garlic?
Black garlic is a healthy food that has been aged for about a month while maintaining a constant temperature and humidity. It turns brown when fermented and aged carefully.
In addition, during this fermentation and aging process, the content of polyphenols that are contained in garlic increases, and amino acids that are not present in raw garlic are produced. Due to its high nutritional value, such as amino acids, it is attracting attention as a miracle health food by many people.

Commitment to Black Garlic by Matsuyama Herb Farm's
Our black garlic grown in no. 1 garlic production area in the fertile land of Aomori, and certainly is a garlic that raised through established water.
Aomori is a land where the natural environment is prosperous and delicious agricultural products can be produced. The production of garlic here is also the highest in Japan. Furthermore, Matsuyama Herb Farm's is precise about water and soil.
The water is pure mineral water rich in minerals obtained by melting the snow accumulated on Mt. Hakkoda and filtering it over a long period.
Garlic from Aomori prefecture has the characteristics:
- One piece is a large grain
- The content is tight
- High sugar content and sweet
- Abundant of "Allicin"
- And many more.
As Few As Possible Pesticides are Used By Specialized Farmers To Produce Delicious, Safe, And Assured Garlic
At Matsuyama Herb Farm's, black garlic specialist farmers aim for sustainable recycling agriculture to produce safe and delicious products in the long term and agriculture that doesn't rely on pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
The cultivation area is a plateau at an altitude of 150m at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda
The cultivation area is a plateau at an altitude of 150m at the foot of Mt. Hakkoda. The thickness of the snow is about 3-4m. However, this snow has a high sugar content to grow delicious garlic.
The sugar content of black garlic at Matsuyama Herb Farm's is 40 degrees. It is the snow that accumulates 3-4m on the plateau of the Hakkoda Mountains that produces the sugar content.
Here is how our black garlic has been made:
It takes about a year from planting garlic to producing black garlic. We carefully carry out every task from harvesting to shipping during that time.
At Matsuyama Herb Farm's, we are particular about processes such as aging after harvesting. While general black garlic products are added to deep seawater to add (hydrated) minerals, at Matsuyama Herb Farm's, garlic is aged only with the water itself, and garlic originally has no additives. We have adopted a manufacturing method that brings out the sweetness and sourness of garlic.
The "Hot Air Method" That Protects The Umami Ingredient In Garlic From Damage
Furthermore, by applying heat with hot air, we create products that hold the umami ingredients at once, prevent deterioration, products that can be stored for a long time, and have passed various inspections for delivery to our beloved customers.
How To Serve Black Garlic
Remove the skin and eat as it is
Black garlic can be peeled and eaten as it is. You can eat it quickly, so please enjoy it when hungry or as a snack.
The volatile sulfur compounds that cause odors are reduced by aging, so the unpleasant scent will not be noticeable within 15-30 minutes after eating. It is also recommended when going out.
In addition, it goes well with various dishes, so you can take it in without getting tired.

Q & A About Black Garlic
What is black garlic?
Black garlic is fermented and aged garlic while maintaining a constant temperature and humidity.
Can I eat it raw?
You can eat it. Since normal garlic is a food that is highly irritating and has a bactericidal effect, eating it raw may cause gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea.
Regardless, black garlic significantly reduces the bactericidal component "Allicin" during the aging process, so you can eat it raw.
How about the smell it's producing?
The volatile sulfur compounds that cause odors are reduced by aging, so the unpleasant odor will not be noticeable within 15-30 minutes after eating.
What nutritional value does it contain?
Ingredients such as arginine, lilcysteine, cycloalliin, proline, and pyroglutamic acid are contained in this black garlic.
How much is the daily intake?
We recommend that you eat one or two pieces, which is an appropriate amount for one day, continuously every day. It appears that some people feel heartburn and stomach upset when they eat too much.
Please tell me the best way to store it?
We recommend storing it in the refrigerator. If it is sealed with a ziplock, it can be deliciously eaten while maintaining its best quality for about six months.
Can it be used for cooking?
Of course, you can use it! The recommendation is to mix it with salad dressing without heating so that the dish can fully absorb black garlic. Besides, you can enjoy the mellow flavor, which is delicious to eat with steak or grilled fish.
Can children and people with weak digestive function eat it?
Black garlic is said to have the function of promoting digestion, so there is no problem. To be on the safe side, consult your doctor about taking this medicine if you are sick.

It's delicious
Large and delicious. I tried several kinds of black garlic, but this one was the most delicious.

I'm less tired
I try to eat one grain a day, and I feel less tired. I continue eating this with my husband.
(Female, 40s)
It's easy to eat
It doesn't have the garlic-specific odor, so I just end up eating it a lot.
(Female, 40s)
Delicious than making it by yourself
I tried to make black garlic with a jar for my health interests, but I stopped making it because it doesn't smelled good. When I was looking for the right one, I tried this, and the sweetness and deliciousness are higher than when I made it myself. Very delicious.
(Female, 30s)
Unstoppable umami
I ate black garlic for the first time, but this is the sweetness and umami that I can't stop bearing. There is hope that the price will be a little cheaper, but it's really delicious.
