Matakana: This is a variety that was sent to me by someone asking me to identify it, saying only that it was from New Zealand. I’ve been growing it out for several years and mulled on whether or not to offer it. Matakana is a tourist town on the North Island surrounded by vineyards featuring a farmers’ market where it is likely this variety was procured. I wrote to the market inquiring about garlic farmers in hopes of finding out where this variety originated but alas. It is certainly an Asiatic type and an attractive one too. The medium sized bulbs feature dark purple coloration and, unlike most other Asiatics, generally have nice symmetry. Cloves are tight and it stores quite well too. While it is not as hot as varieties like Pyongyang, it still has that bright flavor profile.

Limited Availability

Takayama: This is an amazing garlic with well-balanced bulb that are consistent in size with proper care. Originally from a market in the highland city of Takayama, central Japan.

It has rich, complex flavor with a slow build to a piquant finish. It has adapted very well here producing medium-large very tight bulbs with purple blushing and 5-6 dark colored cloves.
