"Delicious" meeting is waiting for you!
"9th Honey Festa" for children and adults to enjoy
Hello, this is Hanes.
When I visited abroad the other day, I had the opportunity to see a polydge (porridge made by stewing oatmeal with milk) for breakfast.
I like polydge quite a lot, so I topped dried fruits and superfoods and put honey (It's because I inadvertently put too much cheer seed (laughs).
At first glance, it is a simple dish, but the sweetness of the gentle honey enhances the deliciousness, and you can eat as much as you like.
Honey is not only a high nutritional value, but also a beauty effect, antibacterial and sterilizing effect, so it is a food that you want to incorporate into your daily dining table.
However, even though it is honey, the taste, color, and aroma vary greatly depending on the flower that collects the honey and the area of origin.
That's why when you buy honey, you really want to taste it and choose one that suits your taste, right?
Prior to "Honey Day" on August 3, an event on the theme of honey will be held in Chuo-ku where you can actually sample honey and purchase special items from about 100 types of honey. .
The 9th Honey Festa 2024 hosted by the Japan Honey Meister Association, which will be held at Ginza Phoenix Plaza (Pulp & Paper Building 2F and 3F) from July 26 (Fri) to 28 (Sun) It is!
However, it is not only domestic and overseas honey that you can enjoy at this festival.
There are plenty of projects that can be enjoyed regardless of gender or age, such as workshops on food and beauty using honey, tours of bees on the rooftop by the Ginza Bee Project, which seems to be good for free research during summer vacation, and voting for the contest "Honey of the Year" to select delicious honey.♪
Actually, I, who had just become a correspondent in the Chuo-ku Tourism Association in 2018, also visited the venue and carefully learned the depth of the honey.
Exhibitors explained the characteristics of honey very carefully, and I was able to hear tips about honey that can not be obtained at supermarkets first, and I thought, "I want to go this every year!"
It will be the information at the time of 2018, but if you are interested in this festival, please also see the following past articles.

Due to the effects of the infectious disease, this festival was postponed for a while with the event held in 2019.
It was held for the first time in four years in 2023, and it was held again this year! I think it will be an event that interests honey lovers more than ever before.
Therefore, if you are interested in workshops and bee tours, don't forget to apply in advance as soon as possible!
※Advance application is until 7/19 (Fri) 17:00. Participation on the day is possible only if there is a vacancy
Since I participated in this festival in 2018, I have become more sensitive to honey, such as searching for local honey on my travels and purchasing Mead.
Five years later, this year, I hope to go looking for honey that goes well with polydges and muselies.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of honey you have encountered.
You can easily participate in honey sales and honey contest general voting without advance application and free of charge.
When you come to Ginza for sightseeing or shopping, why not visit this festival?
If you stop by Ginza Phoenix Plaza in the hot weather, you will encounter delicious honey and Mead (honey sake).
