Morotsuka Village, located in the northern mountainous region of Miyazaki Prefecture, has built its economy around four key industries: timber, shiitake mushrooms, wagyu beef, and tea production, all taking advantage of the abundant mountain resources.
With forests covering 90% of the village area and settlements nestled among them, the traditional practice of natural Japanese honeybee beekeeping thrives as part of the lifestyle of people living in harmony with nature.
Unlike "monofloral honey" made from single flower sources like acacia or Chinese milk vetch, honey created from various mountain flowers is called "wildflower honey," beloved worldwide for its rich, deep flavor. The honey collected in Morotsuka Village is also this type of wildflower honey.
Beekeepers place handmade hive boxes called "Uto" in the mountains, invite Japanese honeybees in early spring, care for them throughout the season, and harvest honey just once in late autumn, leaving enough for the bees' winter food supply. This bee-friendly natural beekeeping method produces extremely precious wildflower honey.
Currently, Morokko House, the specialty products shop in Morotsuka Village, is selling "Yama no Mitsu" wildflower honey collected this fall. The product is also available for delivery via cool courier through the shop's online store.
Experience the rare, highly nutritious natural honey lovingly harvested by Morotsuka Village's natural beekeepers!
