With a population of roughly 6,000 and 80% of its land consisting of mountains and forests, the specialty product of Takko Town is garlic, owing to its abundant water resources. Aomori Prefecture produces 80% of Japan\u2019s garlic, and Takko Town was recognized as \u201cthe garlic village\u201d in 1962 thanks to its cultivation efforts.<br>The town\u2019s representative variety is Fukuchi White Roppen (Six Clove) Garlic. The cloves are planted from mid-September to mid-October, then harvested in late June to early July the following year. They make it through the winter in the snow-covered fields, giving them time to grow slowly in the intense cold temperatures, resulting in a sweet flavor with little pungency.<br>*The products shown are examples.\nPlease note that some may not be available depending on the timing of your visit.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-4 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/yama-01.jpg\" alt=\"Juicy Canned General Leclerc Pears\" class=\"wp-image-546\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Juicy Canned General Leclerc Pears<br>(Sakashita Shouten)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/yama-02.jpg\" alt=\"Herai Black Garlic\" class=\"wp-image-547\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Herai Black Garlic<br>(Aomori Nousan)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/131888717_201558431619923_1781735194383297584_n.jpg\" alt=\"Takko Garlic, Medium Size\" class=\"wp-image-760\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Takko Garlic, Medium Size<br>(Takko Garlic Center)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u3000 Takko Town can be found in the foothills of the \u014cu Mountains at the southernmost end of Aomori Prefecture, w [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":201,"parent":190,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-souvenir.php","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":1675058905,"_expiration-date-type":"draft","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/361"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":396,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/361\/revisions\/396"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/8base.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
