This is pure, raw honey from Hokkaido. ◎ "Shikoro" is a local name for the Japanese cork tree (Phellodendron amurense), a member of the citrus family. Its bark, known as "Ōbaku," is used as a herbal medicine. It is believed to be beneficial for the stomach and intestines. Shikoro honey, harvested around the North Okhotsk region, is rarely distributed and is considered a phantom honey. It has a beautiful yellow color, a rich sweetness, and no strong aftertaste. You'll notice a unique flavor characteristic of Shikoro. ◎ Buckwheat Raw Honey - Hokkaido Rich in minerals like iron and potassium, it boasts outstanding nutritional value. It's also a hot topic for boosting immunity. Hokkaido has the largest buckwheat harvest in Japan, and the vast buckwheat fields are filled with adorable white flowers as far as the eye can see. Its unique flavor has mixed reviews. It has many enthusiastic fans, and its deep, molasses-like flavor pairs perfectly with yogurt. Buckwheat honey is considered to have the highest nutritional value among all types of honey. The dark color comes from its high iron content, which is more than five times that of other honeys. Amino acid proline and organic acid gluconic acid help with iron absorption, and it is also rich in minerals like potassium. Furthermore, the rutin unique to buckwheat exhibits powerful antioxidant effects. In addition to iron, it is also rich in vitamins A and B, minerals such as calcium, zinc, and magnesium, and flavonoids, boasting exceptional nutritional value among various honeys. ☆ Do not give to infants under 1 year old. ☆ Please feel free to contact us with any requests.
