Japan’s oldest beekeeping wholesaler, Akitaya Honten, located in “Gifu,” the birthplace of modern beekeeping, has launched a new autumn-only product “Coffee Mont Blanc” using special honey and coffee at its online store from September 29, 2022 (Thu).
The patissier who makes “Coffee Mont Blanc” is the same patissier who won the Grand Prix at the 50th Japan Food Selection for “Cheesecake with Melting Snow and Honey”, the first time a sweets product has won the highest award.
