100% Pure Natural Honey Collected by Japanese Honey Bees
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.
Reliable Honey Collected by Japanese Honey Bees in a Pesticide-free Environment
Japanese bees are wild and delicate, and can only live in a clean environment free from the effects of pesticides. The honey produced by Japanese honey bees is highly safe and the nectar is collected in a land rich in nature. Of course, you don't have to worry about drugs or antibiotics. This is unheated raw honey filled with the natural blessings of Japan, collected by Japanese bees from untouched wild mountain flowers.
Precious Japanese Honey That is Unheated, Additives-free, and Has Active Natural Ingredients.
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
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.

Its sticky nature also has an antibacterial effect that protects the mucous membranes, especially the nose and throat. But, only unheated raw honey with active enzymes can be expected to have the full heath benefits of honey.
Unheated raw honey, which can be said to be "genuine" in the Japan honey market where production efficiency and cost are important, is said to be rare, only less than 1%.
Honey contains more than 150 kinds of abundant nutrients in a well-balanced manner, including 27 kinds of minerals, 22 kinds of amino acids, 80 kinds of natural enzymes, and more than 10 kinds of organic acids.

Honey in Convenient Pouch Packaging, Makes Life Easier
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.
