Historical fact:
Biwa, or Japanese loquat, has been cultivated in Japan for centuries and was especially valued as both a fruit tree and a plant connected with traditional wellness culture. In old Japan, biwa leaves were often used in folk remedies, while the golden fruit became a seasonal delicacy of early summer.
Flowers and Season
Biwa trees bloom at an unusual time, usually from late autumn to winter. While many other flowers are not in bloom, biwa blossoms open quietly in the colder season, offering a precious source of nectar for honeybees.
Because biwa flowers bloom when temperatures are low, bees can only fly on warmer winter days. This makes Biwa Honey difficult to harvest in large quantities. The amount collected depends heavily on the weather, the strength of the bee colonies, and the short chances bees have to visit the flowers.
Our Biwa Honey is selected from honey with a gentle floral aroma and mild natural sweetness. It is filled without heating in order to preserve its delicate fragrance and smooth flavor. Please enjoy the calm, elegant taste that reflects the quiet beauty of Japan’s winter blossoms.
