Honey Sommelier ProfessionalMy job is to taste honey from all over the world and explore the possibilities of pairings. Whenever I travel, I always try local honey to broaden my palate. I'm also interested in pairings with ingredients that are carefully selected for their origin and production method, and I'm particularly interested in pairings with wine, craft beer, cheese, nuts, and dried fruit. I'm good at suggesting ways to enjoy honey that make the most of its aroma, richness, spiciness, and bitterness.
はちみち 山形 栗と菩提樹
商品詳細山形 栗と菩提樹は清涼感と深みが楽しめるはちみつ。熟成ゴーダチーズと好相性で、
プチトマトを添えたピンチョスにすればスパークリングワインのお供に。
山形 栗と菩提樹は、清涼感のある味わいと深みのある後口で、菩提樹と栗の特徴を同時に感じられるはちみつです。百花蜜なので、菩提樹や栗の強い個性は和らいでいますが、口の中で味わいが変わっていく楽しみがあります。塩気の強いチーズとよく合うのでブルーチーズがおススメですが、今回は旨味たっぷり熟成ハードチーズと合わせてみてください。６～９か月熟成のゴーダチーズは特におすすめで、熟成の旨味と栗のコク、濃厚なチーズに菩提樹の清涼感がミルクの美味しさをより引き立てます。おつまみを完成させるなら、さらにプチトマトやパプリカも用意してピンチョスに。ブラックペッパーをかけて、スパークリングワインのお供にどうぞ。
はちみつ シチリア島 サボテン
商品詳細シチリア島サボテンは、ジューシーな甘みと酸味が爽やかなはちみつ。
相性のよいギリシャヨーグルと朝食に。おつまみなら生ハムも一緒にグリッシーニに巻いて◎
実はフルーツの蜜源であるサボテン。爽やかでフルーティなはちみつで、果実味あるジューシーな甘みにシャープな酸味は、シチリア島らしいカラッとした気候ならではの味わいです。フルーティなサボテンとミルキーなヨーグルトは相性がよく、特にギリシャヨーグルトがおススメです。朝食ならこの2つの組み合わせだけでも大丈夫ですし、おつまみなら生ハムも合わせると、生ハムの塩気にミルクのコク、はちみつのフルーティで優しい甘みが美味しさを引き立てます。イタリアのはちみつですし、グリッシーニに巻いてもおススメです。
Honey Tasmania Christmas Bush
Product detailsChristmas bush honey is sweet and fragrant. Add it to hot milk,
Combine it with almonds to create a Florentine-like treat that is perfect with alcohol.
Tasmanian Christmas bush honey's vanilla-like aroma and sweetness make it a delicious dessert on its own. The aroma of Christmas bush can be fully enjoyed with any ingredient, so adding it to hot milk for a rich, sweet floral aroma is a great choice for the cold season. For those with a sweet tooth, a recommended recipe for a drink is to combine crushed almonds and honey and chill it in the refrigerator. It becomes like the caramel part of a Florentine, and when served on cream cheese or crackers, it's the perfect accompaniment to sparkling wine.
Greek Oak Honey
Product detailsGreek oak honey, with its rich, brown sugar-like flavor, is served with baked pain de campagne and Munster cheese along with cumin for an exquisite harmony.
Greek oak honey has a rich, brown sugar-like flavor that slowly unfolds on the tongue over time. Its rich, solid flavor, combined with a subtle acidity, makes it a perfect match for bread with a grainy texture. Bake a pain de campagne topped with Munster, an Alsace cheese, in the oven, and once the cheese is melted, add a little cumin and finish with oak honey. This combination is unique to oak, which stands up to the fragrant aroma of the bread and the mellow cheese flavor and spices.
Honey France Acacia
Product detailsBaguette topped with Roquefort paste, fruit and prosciutto.
Finished with a drizzle of rich French acacia honey, it pairs perfectly with a dry white wine.
French acacia honey is so rich you can even taste it with a spoon, making it one of the thickest acacia honeys. It's delicious on toast and yogurt, but pairing it with something as distinctive as blue cheese really brings out the flavors of each. Make a paste with Roquefort and unsalted butter, then lightly coat the baguette with garlic for flavor. Top with your favorite fruit, prosciutto, and Roquefort paste, and finish with a drizzle of honey. The cheese's distinctive saltiness is mellowed, while the richness of French acacia brings out the sweetness and flavor of the milk in the blue cheese. It pairs well with dry white wine, so be sure to give it a try.

Spanish rosemary honey has a very subtle herbal aroma. It is a mild honey characterized by a warm, gentle sweetness and richness. When eaten on its own, it has a mild flavor, but when combined with other ingredients or heated, the hidden herbal notes emerge.

Its spicy character makes it perfect for meals, and it pairs particularly well with butter. While bread and butter is great, we also recommend trying it with potato butter. The rich flavor of the potato butter is complemented by the rich sweetness of the honey, which brings out the saltiness and richness of the butter.
