The manufacturer Boyodo says they make “Hana nakko” with the image of a little girl in rope blossoms field.

“Nanohana” flowers are one of the symbols for Chiba. I didn’t know the English name so I searched on the internet, it’s called rape blossoms.

Boyodo is in a town called Tateyama that is in the south part of Chiba. It has mild warm climate almost throughout a year.

I got this at Aeon, one of the biggest supermarkets in Japan. Aeon is based in Chiba so I think we can find it in Aeon or the manufacturer shops anytime.
