Creative black garlic packaging shaped to look like a single clove of garlic made out of folded paper.

Towada Premium Black Garlic packaging designed by Keiko Akatsuka for the Towada Art Center Museum shop in Aomori, northern Japan.

White surface of the packaging was inspired by the ice and snow during Aomori’s harsh winters.

It represents the period when raw white garlic rests beneath heavy snowfall, gathering strength in silence and cold.

With the arrival of spring, white garlic undergoes a slow transformation, deepening into black color through fermentation.

Packaging captures seasonal metamorphosis, expressing purity, time, and climate as essential ingredients of Towada Premium Black Garlic.

By resembling a garlic clove, the design communicates origin, allowing form to speak rather than relying on overt graphics.

Opening the package becomes a deliberate act, mirroring the slow process required to produce premium black garlic.

Towada Premium Black Garlic demonstrates how thoughtful packaging design can communicate origin, climate, and transformation.
