We’ve been waiting very patiently to share our citrus honey harvest on NHK! The segment is called Workpedia, which is part of a show called Where We Call Home. Workpedia is designed to introduce foreigners living and working in Japan, their profession, and an interview with their Japanese colleagues. So for our segment, we took the NHK film crew to our apiary to harvest honey, to our workshop to extract the honey, and to a local market to sell the honey.
It was broadcast on the channel NHK WORLD JAPAN, throughout Japan, and globally! Wow! You can now view the episode for free on-demand on NHK’s website, here. We hope that it will also be uploaded to the Workpedia YouTube channel soon. Please note that our Workpedia segment begins at the 20-minute mark (the last 7 minutes of the episode).
Thank you to the NHK film crew, and to our Ōmishima neighbors! We look forward to more opportunities in the future, not only to share our own business, but also to help share all of Ōmishima and the Shimanami Kaido small businesses. Our small island economy is very much tourism-based, so the more visitors to the islands, the more we can all continue to grow and succeed together, on this little island paradise.
