Editorial department C is relieved to see two people who are very bright and easy to talk to.

First of all, introduce yourself. When asked about the shop name "Three little birds" that he was interested in, he said, "It's derived from my favorite Bob Marley song, and it's because I have three family members."

His wife is from Chiba. My husband was originally from Shimane and lived in Kanagawa and Kawasaki when he was in college.
The two met on Hahajima, the Ogasawara Islands, and moved to Ishigaki Island in 2015. It seems that the experience shop has been open since 2017.

When asked about the customer base of "Learn online: 100% experience of making herb balls from Ishigaki Island", " Corporate benefits and schools often take groups "My husband said.

There are many women in individuals, but there are many men in groups, "the wife replies. It is surprising that there are more male participants!

According to his wife, he was asked to offer an online tour of herb balls.

Mr. Hattori, the owner of the relaxation salon "Soft Kanoya", who I knew right after I moved to Ishigaki Island, was asked by a customer to "tell me because I want to use herbs at home", but I was busy so I went to the classroom. Difficult to hold. Therefore, we asked Mr. and Mrs. Yanagihara, who runs the experience shop, to provide an experience of herb balls.

For the herb ball experience, we use herbs grown by Mr. Hattori, "I want to deliver safe and secure products."

Mr. Hattori is an expert in traditional Thai massage and relaxation using herbs. He has about 15 years of experience and is a "very studyer (wife talk)".

Mr. Hattori says, "We start with soil preparation." In the video of the herb field that I saw after introducing myself, I can see that it is being cultivated with great care.

After watching a video explaining the characteristics of the herbs used in the herb balls, the experience finally starts!

It's my first time to experience making things online, so I'm worried, but Mr. and Mrs. Yanagihara encourage me.

By the way, the herbs in the "Muscle" course selected by the editorial department C are a blend of three types: Pontsuku ginger, castor bean (Ricinus communis), and Vitex rotundifolia. Pontsuku ginger has a cute sound, but it is a representative of Thai herbs and is the main ingredient of Tiger Balm for massage. Domestically produced herbs are quite rare and are recommended by Mr. and Mrs. Yanagihara. is.

From the bag to the bowl of herbs. Then, the scent of herbs is fluffy all over the room!

Editorial department C who is sensitive to odors and is not good at scents of strong perfumes and hand creams. However, the herb of the "Muscle" course selected this time has the impression that it is "a scent that all cells want".

It seems that you can fly to Ishigaki Island, which is rich in nature, just by smelling the scent.

Hold the edge of the cloth, wrap it in a cloth (luxury domestic double gauze!), Crush it tightly, and wrap it around with a string.

On the way, I was worried that "I wonder if it fits ...", but it was completed while being encouraged by Mr. and Mrs. Yanagihara, "It's okay!"

Impressions of participating in the experience of making herb balls from Ishigaki Island

It is impressive that Mr. and Mrs. Yanagihara were very cheerful and friendly. Just talking online made it fun. Also, the explanation is polite and easy to understand, so it will check if it suits each process, so even those who are worried that "I'm clumsy but okay ..." are safe!

When I soaked the finished herb ball in water, warmed it in the microwave, and applied it to my shoulders and neck, I felt a stronger (albeit comfortable) scent of herbs, and I felt very refreshed! It feels like the scent appeals directly to your body.
