Hello everyone. This is Nonko, the store manager of Mirobina, who always goes without foundation.
This time, I'd like to introduce my favorite "healthy snacks," which I also brought along in large quantities on my trip to Australia.
Coincidence? "Fruit Juice Honey Gummy" made with Australian honey.
Last spring, when a representative from the manufacturer told me, "We're going to release some gummies," I was actually not very interested, thinking, "Gummies? Why gummies?" (laughs).
What I now always keep in stock and use regularly, always tucked away in my bag, is Takakura Shin Sangyo's "Daijobu Mono" series.[100-Year Honey Gummy Candy]That's how it is!
Actually, the honey used in these gummies is from Australia!
As I wrote in my first blog post, Australia has a large bee population and is a place where you can harvest a lot of high-quality honey.
Honey is a low-GI food, meaning it doesn't cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it's made with a policy of using only healthy ingredients, so even though I'm usually very careful about what I eat, I feel safe consuming this.
There are two flavors,Contains pomegranate juiceand,Sea buckthorn juiceEnter.
I use pomegranate when I'm concerned about my female hormones, and sea buckthorn when I'm tired or want to replenish my vitamin C.
...So, I always have these two kinds in my bag (laughs).
What's more, it has absolutely no artificial or strange taste; it's full of natural deliciousness.
Just eating one of these when you're feeling a little hungry will soothe your hunger and instantly restore your concentration.
It's so delicious that I have to be careful not to eat too much!
What the forest of giant trees and the cherry blossoms of Japan teach us
After a hectic two-week trip that included painting and other tasks, I arrived back in Japan just as the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
Near my house, along the Shingashi River in Kawagoe, a magnificent row of cherry trees stretches out in the spring.
As I walked beneath the cherry blossoms, thinking, "Japan's nature is so nice," I heard that same "buzz, buzz, buzz" sound I'd heard in the Australian forest.
Looking up at the cherry trees, I saw bees diligently collecting nectar!
Wow, I'm ashamed to admit that in my 57 years of life, I never noticed how hard the bees work collecting nectar when the cherry blossoms bloom.
I was deeply moved by their courageous spirit, and at the same time, I was touched to realize that life is circulating in the same way, both in the forests of Australia and in Kawagoe, Japan.
And I strongly felt that, as a human being, I have a responsibility to protect these natural processes.
The cherry blossoms will bloom again next year.
I encourage you to take a look and notice the bees and birds happily flitting around the cherry trees.
It's also explained in the video
We've also included a short video showcasing the "Hundred-Year Honey Gummy" we introduced today, along with the magnificent cherry blossom trees. Please check it out!
