It's known as Naritasan Goreiyaku (medicine with power of God). Since the Edo period it has been made and sold as a souvenir for visitors to the Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. All visitors used to buy the medicine as a household item, using it as a specific treatment against stomach ache and food poisoning. Today it is still sold at two drugstores on Omote-sando road. Both of these drugstores were established in the Edo period.
