100% Pure Natural Honey Collected by Japanese Honey Bees

Kawashimaya Japanese Bee Honey

This authentic Japanese Honey is a precious honey collected by Japanese honey bees in the lush mountains of Kochi Prefecture. The honey is called "Wahachimitsu" (和蜂蜜, meaning Japanese honey) and collected by Japanese native honey bees, Apis cerana japonica. Now, this kind of honey is only available less than 0.1% of the honey sold in the market. The rarity makes this honey often called by phantom honey.
Compared to Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) that are generally bred by beekeepers, the amount of nectar collected by Japanese honey bees is about one-fifth.

Moreover, only about 1 teaspoon of honey can be collected in a lifetime of a Japanese honey bee. It is also due to the fact that the numbers of the bees has decreased due to phenomena and pollution in the natural environment.

In Tosashimizu City, Kochi Prefecture and its surroundings, we sell natural Japanese honey collected by Japanese bees, and give lectures on how to keep honeybees and how to collect honey. The characteristic of this honey is that the honeycomb is cut out and the free fall honey is reduced with non-woven fabric, and it is not heated or processed with any additives. Pollen may also be mixed in, leaving the aroma and minerals intact. It has a natural floral scent, so I hope you enjoy the different tastes depending on the seasons and locations.

Safe and Secure Japan's Domestic Pure Raw Honey

Kawashimaya Japan's Domestic Pure Honey

This honey is a natural, unheated, pure honey from Japanese honey bees. The main premise of Kawashimaya's honey is that you can use it with peace of mind. Therefore, we are particular about these four points.

Japan's Domestic Honey

Japan's pure domestic honey is really valuable and only available for less than 5% of the honey market (in Japan).

Completely Additives-free

Many of honey in the market was processed by adding coloring agents, preservatives, sweeteners, etc. Because of that, there are many honey products which we cannot expect to have the original benefits of honey.

Unheated Honey

Honey is generally heated for efficient production. But, when heated above 40°C, the honey's nutritional component can gradually breaks down. Unheated honey is less than 0.1% in the honey market. This honey is the unheated one, so you can have full nutritional component from it.

No Antibiotics Used for Honeybees

Considering the impact on the ecosystem and the impact of the antibiotics remaining in the honey for the human body, we are particular about not using antibiotics for honeybees.

※ Do not give honey to babies under 1 year old.
