Loquat flowers bloom from November to January. Takamatsu City in Kagawa Prefecture faces the Seto Inland Sea, and is relatively warm even in winter with many sunny days, making it one of the few areas blessed with an environment that is favorable for honeybees, which are weak in the cold. For beekeepers, winter is the time to let their bees rest in preparation for spring, so not many beekeepers harvest loquat honey.
Pure white loquat honey is harvested once every few years. This white loquat honey crystallizes into a fine creamy texture, giving it a more gorgeous floral scent. This product is made from honey from a good year, stored frozen to ensure the quality is not compromised, then thawed in small batches and hand-packed into individual bottles. Please enjoy the delicate and rich flavor that is unique to loquat honey.
