[Sugi Bee Garden] Kyoto Sanneizaka Store — Local services in Kyoto

1000% the best find I could possibly make while travelling around Kyoto. The staff is very friendly and the products are definitely top notch. The drink samples they provided using the fruit juice infused honey was absolutely delicious that I had to buy them right away. They also have membership program that you can enroll in which gives you some extra savings and there's no cost to enroll. The membership can also be used for their website for both domestic and international online orders where their online staff support can help you with any questions you might have!

Be warned though, I'm not even remotely joking when I say that their Yuzu Honey was absolutely delcious. Once you try it, you'll find yourself going through it remarkably fast that you'll want to order more.

Would definitely recommend Sugi Bee Garden...

There’s a great selection of drinks, including some refreshing local options, plus an amazing range of honey and other natural goods that make perfect gifts or treats for yourself. I also appreciated the in-store information about the company, it’s part of a well-known local chain that supports regional producers and promotes local made products, which makes shopping here feel even better.

Everything was clean, well presented, and easy to browse. You can easily spend time just exploring the shelves. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area, a great mix of quality products, warm service, and...

Friendly reminder that this store is tax free so be sure to present your passport to the cashier.

Probably the most random store I've seen in Kyoto is this honey shop.

They got honey for whatever your needs are, for giving your food or drinking that extra kick it's missing. And there's little jars with spoons so you can try out each different types and select the ones you like more.

Personally, I picked up a 5 pack of honey sampler for back home and they were happy enough to wrap it so it can survive the trip on the plane.

And try out the vanilla and honey ice cream. You...
