Tea Jelly with Grapefruit and Tokyo Honey
MITSUKI (Updated 2026.7.15)
Tokyo honey harvested at L'ABEILLE's apiary in Hachioji, Tokyo. Its elegant floral aroma and gentle sweetness pair perfectly with black tea. For the hot season, we recommend iced tea made with Earl Grey, which has a refreshing bergamot scent. The mild floral aroma of the honey enhances the tea leaves' fragrance, adding a more opulent touch.
For dessert, make Earl Grey tea jelly. Top crushed jelly with grapefruit generously coated in Tokyo honey, and you'll have a perfect summer dessert, harmonizing the Earl Grey aroma, the refreshing grapefruit, and the sweetness of honey.

My job is to explore the possibilities of food pairing while tasting honey from all over the world. When I travel, I always try the local honey to broaden my palate. I am also interested in combining honey with ingredients that have a strong emphasis on their origin and production method, and I am currently researching pairings with wine, craft beer, cheese, nuts, and dried fruit. I specialize in suggesting ways to enjoy honey by highlighting its aroma, richness, spiciness, and bitterness.

Honey Bulgaria Acacia
Product DetailsMix Bulgarian acacia honey and fruit and freeze for a sorbet.
Also great as an ice substitute for water with liquor, or served with mozzarella and olive oil as an accompaniment to drinks.
At L'abeille, you can choose acacia honey from various countries, but even with the same type of flower, the characteristics differ by country. Bulgarian acacia honey is characterized by its rich, full-bodied flavor, allowing you to truly taste the honey when paired with other ingredients. For a delicious treat, lightly crush some fruit to easily extract its juice, mix it with the honey, and then freeze it in an airtight container. You can enjoy a refreshing sorbet, or for a chilled drink, use it as an ice substitute in your water-diluted liquor. It's also great with mozzarella and a drizzle of olive oil as an accompaniment to drinks. Since you can prepare various flavors by simply changing the fruit, it will become an essential item during the hot season.
Honey Bulgaria Cherry Plum
Product DetailsCarrot salad with a gentle sweetness that pairs well with sparkling wine, finished with a dressing made from Bulgarian cherry plum honey.
Bulgarian cherry plum honey is a rich, fruity, and well-balanced honey. It's easy to pair with yogurt for breakfast and tea for teatime, making it a honey you'll want to keep on hand for everyday use. Its balanced flavor also makes it easy to use in dressings; simply mix white wine, honey, and wine vinegar in a ratio of about 1:1:5, then gradually add olive oil while emulsifying. This creates a dressing with a subtle, gentle sweetness from the honey. Serve it with sliced carrots for a carrot salad. Adjust with salt and pepper and enjoy as an accompaniment to sparkling wine.
Honey Greece Strawberry Tree
Product DetailsStrawberry tree honey, paired with Gorgonzola and bitter chocolate, and melted in smoky whiskey, offers an amplified, deeply aromatic, and harmonious experience.
Greek strawberry tree honey initially has a bitter taste, but after a moment, a rich depth and smoky aroma, with a profound flavor, spreads through the mouth. It pairs well with cheese, but there's a caveat: while it complements blue cheese and aged hard cheeses, it enhances the umami and milky richness while also accentuating the saltiness of the cheese. Try it with bitter chocolate. When a small amount of Gorgonzola cheese is combined with strawberry tree honey, the umami and saltiness are highlighted, and that pungent saltiness further enhances the sweetness of the chocolate. Whiskey is recommended as an accompanying drink. If you savor the bitter chocolate, honey, and cheese in your mouth, letting them melt with smoky whiskey, the aroma will be even more amplified.
