"Moon and Leaves" - Harmonizing with the phases of the moon and the power of plants.
What caught my eye during my stroll this time was a specialty shop that sells herbal teas, aromatherapy products, and soaps.Tsuki to Ha (月と葉)". Drawn in by the pleasant aroma wafting through the air, I stepped inside the shop. What Tsuki to Ha values most is incorporating the power of plants into daily life while feeling the changing seasons brought about by nature up close. It embodies the desire to be a presence that gently illuminates people like the moon and envelops their daily lives. The shop is lined with herbal teas and aroma products that bring a pleasant change to everyday life, and through scents and flavors, it suggests a time to care for oneself. It is a shop that reminds you to pause in the midst of busy days and turn to your mind and body.
A small fan infused with fragrance, and the aroma "Blessings of the Sun."
Upon entering the store, a staff member handed me a small paper fan infused with a pleasant fragrance, saying, "Please use this." The aroma, "Sunlight's Blessing," a blend of sweet orange and lavender, gently filled the air, enveloping me in a comforting feeling that made me want to take a deep breath. The bright citrus scent combined with the gentle aroma of lavender created a sense of calm and relaxation.
Scents are invisible, yet they can change our mood and the impression of a space. Finding your favorite scent is one of the small pleasures that enriches our daily lives.
At "Tsuki to Ha," you can actually try out the scents of essential oils before making your selection, allowing you to enjoy the time spent searching for a fragrance that suits your taste. The encounter with a fragrance that captivates you will naturally make choosing souvenirs a more enjoyable experience.
The beautiful colors of the blended herbal tea "Jogen" are captivating.
Another treat is their original blend of herbal tea. While browsing the shop, I was delighted to be offered a free sample. The blend I tried was called "Waxing Moon." Inspired by the power of the waxing moon, it's suggested as a drink to boost motivation and concentration, and support action. This herbal tea, a blend of rosehip, hibiscus, and rose red, has a beautiful, vibrant pink color. The gorgeous color that fills the cup makes teatime even more special. With the first sip, the rich flavor of the herbs spreads, and you can also taste the natural sweetness from the stevia and cloves. It's also nice that you can enjoy it without adding sugar. The charm of herbal tea lies in the fact that the aroma and taste vary depending on the combination of ingredients. Choosing one according to your mood or the time of day can make your usual teatime a little more enjoyable.
Incorporate the blessings of plants into your daily life.
From aromatherapy to enjoy the fragrance to herbal teas for their color and flavor, the time spent at "Tsuki to Ha" allowed me to experience the various charms of plants and gave me an opportunity to re-examine my daily life. You don't need to do anything special; simply incorporating a favorite scent or taking the time to slowly brew tea can bring a little peace to your everyday life. Bringing home things you encountered on your travels and enjoying their lingering impressions in your daily life is also one of the joys of choosing souvenirs.
Enjoy a moment of peace and tranquility with your beloved dog amidst the blessings and fragrances of plants, encountered during a trip to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Kawaguchi.
