・ Breeding only with organically grown mulberry leaves In modern sericulture, it is common to use artificial feed as part of the breeding. It is often used for the purpose of aligning growth and preventing the outbreak of diseases, especially when the child is 1 to 2 years old. On the other hand, Shionoya is particular about using mulberry leaves at all ages. It will be difficult to take care of, but it has a special taste due to the time and effort.

・ "Miyako Kiniro", a variety that makes yellow eyebrows
Kyoto silk moth adopts a variety called "Miyako Kiniro". The capital color is characterized by making beautiful bright yellow eyebrows. This yellow color is due to the pigment components of carotenoids and flavonoids derived from mulberry leaves. * Depending on the season, it may be changed to a variety called "Miyako Asagi" that also makes yellow eyebrows.

・ Harvesting at the most delicious time Kyoto silk moth makes eyebrows and harvests at the earliest time (4th to 5th day as a guide) at the best time to eat. The pupae inside are carefully cut one by one by hand and taken out. It takes time to get good things in good condition. Of course, cut eyebrows are also effectively used as silk products.
