Let's see what you can find at the honey gacha (honey gacha)!

A peek into the back of the store revealed a honey gumbo with "real honey" in cute-sized jars! Every flavor of honey in it is delicious, so I recommend it! The honey gacha, which is both fun and affordable, seems to be very popular, and there were crowds of people when I was there. They say you win the jackpot if there is a coupon in the gacha that can be exchanged for an eligible product.

Soft ice cream unique to the honey shop

Honey soft serve

This is a must-try when you come to the honey shop in the mountains!
It is the "honey soft" with a little bit of honeybee chocolate on it.
Purchasers of the honey soft serve can participate in the "Honeybee Swarm Challenge. If you roll the dice and get an 8, 8 honeybee chocolates will be placed on top.
For a chance to win, roll the dice again and get another 8, and a colorful chocolate flower will be added.
If you get an "8", you get 8 honeybee chocolates!
What a miracle happened and I got 8 pieces!

Soft serve ice cream at the "Queen Bee Cafe

After buying the honey soft serve, eat it at the Queen Bee Café, a free rest area outside the store!
Inside this cute red two-story London bus is an air-conditioned and heated cafe space that is free for everyone. The honey soft serve in the retro atmosphere tastes really good with a hint of honey!
Honey has a different taste, color, and aroma depending on the type of flower. You can clearly see the difference when you compare them.
Be sure to find your favorite flavor at the "Mountain Honey Shop.
