[Jul.27 Ticket] Distillation of Kuromoji at Mt. Fuji, crafting your own aroma spray

This workshop will allow you to experience "Kuromoji distillation" and "making your own original aroma spray" in the forests of Mount Fuji, where noi originated.

The forest at the foot of Mt. Fuji nurtures trees, plants, animals, insects, and rich soil and water, providing a perspective that is not usually available in human society. Distillation (steam distillation) is a primitive method that humans have used to extract aromas for over 5,000 years, and is the core of noi's activities to bring out the vital aromas of plants.

On the day, you will experience three things.

1) You will take a walk through the forest at the foot of Mt. Fuji, where noi is currently active, cleaning up the area, and using your sense of smell to experience the various trees and wild plants that grow there, allowing you to feel the richness of the forest.

② We will distill wild Kuromoji, the main botanical of noi, on the spot, and you will see and smell the process of extracting the fragrant components of Kuromoji, experiencing the energy of the plant.

③ Finally, you will receive a lecture on the basics of fragrance blending, and then you will create your own original fragrance using wild plants from Mt. Fuji and organic essential oils. You will then have the opportunity to take it home as an aroma spray.

Come and experience a break from your everyday routine, feel the vitality of the forest with your whole body, and awaken the nature within you.
