explained.
“Marketing this garlic is not

Moriya, the head of Mitsubishi’s
agricultural products team.
After conducting his own pri

the plant’s worth. One recent I
evening, Moriya consumed a large ;
quantity of Nakagawa’s garlic.
The next morning, he walked
through the office talking right ’

that.
The problem of garlic breath
is known worldwide. In countries
like -South Korea, where drinks,
soup and main courses often
carry liberal servings of the
bulb, garlic breath has become
endemic and can foul an entire
elevator in fewer than four floors.
To date there was little that
garlic lovers could- do, short of
abstaining on apologizing. That
bothered Nakagawa and his
friends in the late 1950s.
