RE: Mead – A Sparkling Sweet and Sour Refreshment
Nice article. Have been meaning to make mead for some time now, but not having access to an affordable honey supply (here in Japan a kilo - if you could find such a large volume - would cost around 75 euros, and most likely be pasteurised) has been holding me back. Guess I'll just have to set up my own hives!
Oh, I'm sorry about hearing that. Yes, under those conditions I couldn't imagine making it. Here I got a friend who gives me honey for free, and I give her half my mead in return. But even if I bought it, 75 euros are outrageous. But don't give up, there may be some surprising exceptions in Japan as well. Some of Fukuoka's adherents maybe...? Good luck in any case.
