Ryukakusan is a great companion for people who use their voice for long periods. My job requires communicating with clients, so I often talk a lot throughout the day, and my throat can easily feel dry or uncomfortable. Taking one packet is a convenient way to soothe the discomfort. It’s also good for teachers to keep on hand. They even released a mango flavor, which makes me curious about how it actually tastes, but I prefer the classic mint flavor.

HORI "Yubari Melon Pure Jelly Petit Gold"
A signature product from HORI, a confectionery maker based in Sunagawa City near the center of Hokkaido. This luxurious sweet is made with fully ripened Yubari melon pulp, a famous Hokkaido specialty, capturing its rich aroma and juicy sweetness in jelly form. You can easily enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth smoothness and mellow sweetness that make Yubari melon so distinctive in these bite-size jellies.
HORI Yubari Melon packs the rich aroma and sweetness of Hokkaido’s Yubari melons into a small dessert. Made with premium Yubari melon puree, it delicately blends the fruit’s fragrance and sweet flavor. As soon as you take a bite, you can savor the captivating, full-bodied melon aroma, as if tasting a piece of a Hokkaido orchard in summer.
Though small, each piece is packed with the essence of melon. It’s wonderfully fragrant and sweet without being overwhelming. There isn’t much, so you have to savor it slowly—a small everyday luxury and treat for yourself.

Shirakawa Suigen
The Shirakawa Water Source is one of the Minamiaso Village Spring Water Group where subterranean water from the Aso Caldera gushes out. It is the source of the Shirakawa River, a first-class river that flows through Kumamoto City, and is famous for being selected as one of the "100 best waters" by the Environment Agency (now the Ministry of the Environment).
For independent travelers, taking the Aso sightseeing bus not only eliminates the hassle of driving on mountain roads and making transfers, but also provides a smooth connection along the main route between JR Aso Station and the mountaintop. The itinerary covers spectacular sights such as the smoke-shrouded Nakadake Crater of Mount Aso, the lush grasslands of Kusasenri, and Shirakawa Falls. You can take in the magnificent scenery right from the bus and experience the beauty of Aso in depth in the easiest and most comfortable way.

Kuidaore Taro Pudding
The character "Kuidaore Taro" first appeared in 1950 as the signature doll of "Osaka Meibutsu Kuidaore," a restaurant that used to be located in Dotonbori, Osaka's busiest shopping district. After the restaurant closed, he is still charming in front of the amusement building "Nakaza Cui-daore Bldg." in Dotonbori.
The Osaka specialty “Kuidaore Taro Pudding” is fun just to look at~ Inspired by Kuidaore Taro, the famous mascot of Dotonbori in Osaka, the pudding comes in an adorable bottle that you can keep as a little collectible after finishing it. The pudding has a smooth, delicate texture, and the caramel sauce adds a sweet, fragrant flavor. It tastes rich without being overly heavy. The cute design also makes it a fun gift.
