Shiiba Village, known as one of Japan's three most remote areas and home to the legend of the Heike clan's refugees, is a storied and cherished treasure. Beekeeper Nasu carves his own hives into the cliffs of a virgin forest, waiting patiently for native Japanese honeybees to settle there naturally. Japanese honeybees prefer remote mountain areas and rocky cliffs, making them extremely difficult to raise. They will escape if the conditions inside the hive deteriorate. Honey production is dependent on the bees themselves. Because honey is collected slowly over the course of a year, the yield is said to be only one-fifth to one-tenth that of Western honeybees. 2017 marked the last year that Nasu's honey was available. Each bottle of vintage honey, previously stored in a freezer, was carefully hand-packed. This rare Japanese honey was collected using traditional Japanese beekeeping techniques.
