At a Glance
Key points
- One 2kg jar. The product description states the amount as 2kg (jar). No guide to the number of servings is given
- Room-temperature storage and a best-before date of 3 years. The product page states “store at room temperature” and “best-before date: 3 years”. It also explains that, because of low-temperature heat treatment, the honey may turn white and harden, but that this does not affect quality
- Ingredients are “国産ハチミツ・精製ハチミツ” (Japan-produced honey, refined honey). The shop’s notice image says that from September 2026 it is partially changing its ingredient labeling and will use a small amount of refined honey (honey that has been deodorized and decolorized) in addition. No proportion is stated
- Rakuten rating 4.79 (911 reviews). Viewed November 5, 2026
Watch out for
- Refined honey is listed alongside in the ingredients. Some of the shop’s images show an older label listing the ingredient as “国産ハチミツ” only, so the labeling differs between images
- The hot-water bath (yusen) temperature is written as about 60 degrees in the product description and about 40°C in a description image, so the two conflict
- Please do not give honey to infants under 1 year old (stated as a general caution)
Suits: People who want to keep 2kg at room temperature and use it little by little in cooking, drinks and so on
