KAWASHIMAYA Japan Domestic Pure Honey 250 - Preservatives-free, Additives-Free, Unheated Pure Honey 100% Made in Japan

100% Pure Natural Honey Collected by Honeybees

At vast fields and ranches all over Japan in the summer, in a pesticide-free environment, there is pure, safe, and reliable natural honey collected by honeybees.
Considering the environment where honeybees can live safely and comfortably, this honey is filled with the nature of Japan and is harvested from the flowers of organic farms that do not use pesticides and ranches where there is no worry about pesticides.
Recently, it's common to mix antibiotics in the bee's bait to prevent honeybee diseases, but there is a risk that drug-resistant bacteria will appear and the antibiotics will not work, and the honeybees will be gone. Considering the danger to the human body due to the residual antibiotics in honey, we are particular about beekeeping without using antibiotics, and honeybees are produced in a way that is close to the power and ecology of living naturally.

Honey-making That Hasn't Changed Since Old Time

A gift from nature made by honeybees. This honey is a brand that coexists with nature, and we use the ancient manufacturing method that helps farmers in organic and natural farming to pollinate their fields, and making honey in the fields and mountain foothills until the end.
No additives, no heat treatment, pure from the wilderness. Please feel the deliciousness of genuine honey, which is now rare to get.

Safe and Secure Japan's Domestic Pure Raw Honey

This honey is collected by bees from natural flowers. 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.

Kawashimaya's honey is a pouch type. The honey is packed in convenient pouch that makes it easier to use honey, and easier for shipping. It doesn't take up much space for storage and can be closed tightly, so you don't have to worry about liquid leaks.

If you put it directly on drinks and dishes, you can save the trouble of washing spoon/dipper. You can squeeze it to the end and use up without leaving any. Less trouble for disposing empty containers because it's not in bottle.

Due to the nature of honey, it may crystallize to white due to the cold temperature, but there is no change in the quality and ingredients. If you put the honey along with its container in a pot or bowl filled with lukewarm water and it will return to its original state. If you are concerned about the seal of the container being distorted or peeled off, you can also use a heatpack or hot water bag to warm it.
