Raw Honey from Japanese Honeybees
Hachisuke's Japanese honeybees fly among the seasonal flowers blooming in the hills and fields of Kyoto, gathering pollen and nectar over the course of a year. The bees add enzymes and slowly concentrate and mature it over time, producing this very rare honey from Japanese honeybees. Japan's honey self-sufficiency rate is about 5%, and honey from Japanese honeybees is said to account for less than 1% of that. This multi-floral honey, gathered by worker bees, is packed with nutrients and has a rich, full flavor. The bees are raised without chemicals, and the honey, harvested only once a year, is bottled unheated, with its enzymes and nutrients still alive.
At Hachisuke, because we want to deliver honey that is as natural as possible, we bottle only the honey that has been slowly filtered by dripping (tare-mitsu), just as it is.
