"Domestic buckwheat honey harvested this year from a vast field of buckwheat in Hokkaido."
This year's honey harvesting in Hokkaido took place from July 23 to August 14, primarily in the Akank area and the town of Teshikaga in eastern Hokkaido.
The impact of the nationwide heatwave is not an exception for Hokkaido, with some days seeing maximum daytime temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, highlighting the recent experiences of climate change.

Additionally, the number of bees was low, coinciding with a year known as a poor flowering year, resulting in a situation with few blooming flowers.
However, even under such circumstances, thanks to the lively bees carefully nurtured by the beekeeping staff, we were able to harvest high-quality honey.

In contrast to the pure white flowers of buckwheat, the buckwheat honey is characterized by its unique strong aroma and a flavor reminiscent of brown sugar!
Of course, you can enjoy it as is, but it also tastes great when mixed with milk or soy milk, or drizzled over bananas, bread, and nuts.
Please be sure to enjoy the ever-popular domestic soba honey at this opportunity! ♬
