■ About “Japanese Pure Honeycomb”

“Japanese Pure Honeycomb” is natural, pure Japanese honey stored by honeybees in their hives.

It is widely recognized that honey retains the best freshness, flavor, and nutritional value when left sealed within the hive. Since this honey is harvested directly from individual combs, its flavor and nutritional value are second to none.

Furthermore, “Premium Pure Honeycomb” is selected from that year’s harvest based on the finest taste, aroma, and shape, and comes packaged in a wooden box, making it an ideal gift.

■About the 2026 Pure Honeycomb

Japanese Pure Honeycomb is harvested around June each year, and the harvested honey is sold throughout the year.

Since it is a natural product, the taste and aroma vary from year to year depending on the climate and other factors.

Our Senior Managing Director, Hiramoto, commented on this year’s Honeycomb as follows:

“This year, we were blessed with favorable temperatures and the perfect timing of the blooming season, allowing our bees to gather exceptionally high-quality nectar. This year’s Honeycomb, in particular, is characterized by its gentle sweetness and rich aroma. We hope you will enjoy this once-a-year flavor created by nature.”
