Do you know about the different types of honey?
In Japan, the most commonly produced honey is multifloral honey, also known as “hyakkamitsu”, which accounts for about 50% of all domestic honey. (All honey produced by Japanese honeybees is multifloral.)
Next in volume is acacia honey, making up about 25%, followed by milk vetch (renge) at around 15%, and mikan (citrus) honey, a specialty of Ehime and Wakayama, at about 10%.
Multifloral honey varies in taste depending on the region, season, and weather, so many honey lovers enjoy the unique flavors from year to year.
