"The Honey of the Gods: Spotlight on Kyoto's Established Honey Specialty Store 'Mealmi'"

Lucky Gift, Honey ♡

Honey is a standard gift for wedding favors, small gifts, and return gifts.

Although honey is often chosen as a casual gift or present, it seems to be especially popular in wedding scenes.

And it's no wonder! Honey has been revered as "the food of gods" since ancient times (since the Asuka period!) due to its taste and high nutritional value.

Giving honey, the food of gods, expresses the feeling of "I care about you."

Furthermore, because bees live in communities, they are known as "a symbol of the bond between couples and families."

The queen bee produces many offspring, symbolizing prosperity for descendants.

With such wonderful meanings packed into it, it's no surprise that honey is popular for wedding favors, small gifts, and wedding congratulations! ♡

Discovering a Cute Honey Gift Shop!

There are various brands and products of honey gifts available in department stores, select shops, and online shopping.

It's easy to get distracted trying to choose which one to select.

Among them, this time I focused on a long-established honey specialty store in Kyoto, "Miel Mie" ♡

In addition to its main store in Sanjo, it has locations in Hankyu Umeda and Kyoto Takashimaya.

You can taste over 30 different kinds of honey at all times in the store. It's a place that irresistibly attracts honey lovers!

They also offer online shopping for honey lovers from afar.

Next, let me introduce you to mead, a type of honey wine. It's quite rare to find alcohol made from honey!

There is a legend overseas that "newlywed couples who brew mead for a month and drink it will be blessed with children!"

The price is 1,620 yen for 250ml.

Miel Mie also has many other rare honey wines.

This one is the Polish mead "Truinak Piastowski."

In Poland, it has been passed down as a secret brew reserved for nobles since ancient times! ♡

The taste brewed with rich honey and several types of Alpine herbs has a refreshing sweetness with a hint of spice for a dry taste.

It is also recommended for those who dislike overly sweet flavors, and it's best enjoyed hot! ♩

The price starts from the 3,000 yen range per bottle.
