À propos de cet ingrédient
Light-coloured, mild-flavoured honey from black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) — the most popular varietal honey in Japan and the dominant Japan-domestic honey type by volume. Akashia honey resists crystallisation longer than most varietals, making it the de-facto retail-shelf honey in Japan. Aichi (Nagoya), Iwate, and Yamagata are the principal Japan-domestic production regions. Japan-domestic honey is heavily premium-priced vs imported Chinese / South American supply; the 'kokusan' (domestic) label is a key consumer trust marker. Distinct from royal jelly and propolis in flavour and supplement positioning.
