🍯 Tsushima Grand Cru Terroir Honey Reserve Collection
A Masterpiece of Nature and Craftsmanship – Exclusive Wild Japanese Honey
From the remote and pristine Tsushima Island, this exceptional collection brings together four rare expressions of honey made exclusively by wild Japanese honeybees (Apis cerana japonica)—a species native to Japan and now found only in select regions.
Unlike the rest of Japan, Tsushima has no Western honeybees, preserving a pure, unspoiled ecosystem where native bees gather nectar solely from oak blossoms. Yet thanks to the island's dramatic geography and microclimates, each area produces a distinct “terroir” of honey, much like a fine wine.
🍯 What’s Inside – 4 Distinct Terroirs:
-
Upper Tsushima – Master Beekeeper’s Selection
From the island’s wild northern region. Rich and deeply sweet with a wild, lingering essence. -
Sacred Peak Shiratake Area
Harvested at the base of Tsushima’s sacred mountain. A pure, elegant honey with refined complexity. -
Central Tsushima – Master Beekeeper’s Selection
Well-balanced and full-bodied. A testament to skilled beekeeping and the harmony of central Tsushima. -
Western Coast of Lower Tsushima
Fruity, bold, and expressive—where ocean breezes meet mountain blossoms for a vibrant finish.
