All Reviews of Ryukakusan

Whenever I go to Japan, older relatives always tell me, “Don’t forget to buy Ryukakusan for me!”

I used to think it was just a must-buy for tourists, but once I got to Japan, I realized that a lot of Japanese people carry a pack around with them too. Ryukakusan has been around since the Edo period and has over 200 years of history. It’s a classic throat-soothing and cough medicine that many households keep on hand.

When my throat feels dry or I’ve been talking too much, taking a packet really helps. No wonder friends and family always ask me to bring some back. These days, if I go to Japan and don’t bring a few boxes of Ryukakusan back to Taiwan, it feels like I missed one of my shopping missions!

Just two spoonfuls make it easy to cough up phlegm.

I didn't know before, so I always took it with just water.

You don't need water for this medicine—the powder slowly dissolves in your mouth and really soothes your throat. The small packets are super convenient to carry, so they're great for yourself or as a gift for friends and family. It's now a staple in our home. The one I chose has a refreshing taste, too. Highly recommended!

A must-have medicine for every household.
