Lemons get a twist in Hiroshima - SilverKris

"A stylish café opened in March 2016 above the island ferry terminal that combines ocean views with an on-site distillation lab and regular aromatherapy workshops. Guests can pick ingredients in nearby fields and learn to distil oils — with seasonal inputs such as citrus flower petals in May, lemon leaves from May to October and fruit peel from October to April — and the pure lemon oil produced supplies aromatherapists, cosmetics firms, food makers and even futon manufacturers. The space is designed as a relaxing gateway to the island experience, and its team has also dispatched oil to evacuation centres in times of need, emphasising the scent’s restorative qualities." - Tom Miyagawa Coulton
