&YOUKAEN's Sunflower Midyear Gift/Summer Gift Special Feature

&YOUKAEN is currently selling floral gifts for Ochugen, featuring an abundance of summer flowers. We offer a wide variety of products, including bouquets in refreshing summer colors and sunflower bouquets that give a bright and cheerful impression.

■ Summer Smiles Delivered with Flowers.

The concept for &YOUKAEN's 2023 Ochugen and Summer Gifts is "Summer Smiles Delivered with Flowers."

This year's summer gifts include items that bring smiles to both givers and receivers, such as houseplants that thrive under the refreshing summer sun, bouquets overflowing with seasonal flowers like sunflowers, and special gift sets.
In particular, our sunflower products were developed with great care by our florists. We are committed to combining flowers in a way that makes sunflowers look their most beautiful and adorable, creating designs that will bring a smile to anyone who receives them.

When should Ochugen gifts be sent?

Although it varies by region, Ochugen is generally said to be from early July to July 15th in the Kanto and Tohoku regions. Therefore, if you are sending a gift for Ochugen, it is best to arrange for it to arrive between July 1st and July 15th.

In the Kansai, Tokai, Chugoku, and Shikoku regions, it is generally customary to send gifts between mid-July and August 15th. However, influenced by Kanto, an increasing number of people are sending them before July 15th each year.

If sent later than these periods, it will be considered a late-summer greeting (Zansho Mimai) rather than Ochugen, so please be aware. &YOUKAEN's Ochugen and Summer Gifts are available for sale until August 20th, so they can be sent as either summer greetings (Shochu Mimai) or late-summer greetings (Zansho Mimai).

Language of Sunflowers

"I gaze at you," "radiance", etc.

Seasonal Items Harmonize the Body

It is said that eating seasonal foods is good for the body. Besides food, flowers also play a role in harmonizing the body.
In Japan, as the colors of nature change with the four seasons, it is believed that seeing seasonal flowers helps the body prepare for the next season.
For special occasions, you might consider gifting seasonal flowers to create a healing day that harmonizes the mind and body.
