akar sari

Akar Sari is a jamu (traditional herbal medicine) company from Solo, Central Java. The shop was filled with all sorts of herbs and it was perfect for my olfactorial visit :-)

So we went to their shop on a cloudy Saturday afternoon (unfortunately there was a black out, so the inner store was completely dark) and bought some herbs and bumbu (Indonesian seasonings).

I was so amazed by their collection of herbs!
