    'Garlic coffee', to say it sounds a bit strange but it is the drink that a Japanese invented and that is becoming popular in the Japanese country: the taste is that of coffee, but inside there is organic garlic. And to think that it all started due to a small hiccup.



    Yokitomo Shimotai he is 74 years old and is the father of garlic coffee which has been regularly sold in Japan since January. Let's clarify it immediately, it has been renamed this way but it does not contain coffee or caffeine, only that those who have tried it swear that the taste is just that of the famous dark drink.

    “My garlic coffee is probably the first in the world of its kind and not containing caffeine you can drink it when you are pregnant or even at times you wouldn't normally drink coffee, ”says Shimotai, who owns a bar in Aomori, Japan.

    Everything was born out of mere error. While he was in her club, she accidentally burned a steak that had been flavored with garlic. Shimotai minced the seared garlic and mixed it with hot water (don't ask yourself why). When she drank it she says she experienced the same sensation that coffee gives and the same bitter taste.

    After years of experimentation, he achieved his goal of turning his mistake into a marketed product filing the patent in 2015 and opened a laboratory where he creates his coffee.

    “I use an oven to roast the garlic, then I chill it and mince it by adding cloves to create a flavored blend. No bad breath risk because the garlic is grilled, ”says Shimotai.

    The mix is ​​then put into bags (like tea bags), just dip them in boiling water and here's the bizarre drink that is sold in his shop. We cannot know if the result is actually similar to coffee, but it must be said that if this were the case, the health benefits would certainly not be long in coming.
