Description of Products for Trade Inquiry
Our Kishu Minami Ume-shu is made by slowly aging high-quality Kishu Minami plums from Wakayama prefecture. Enjoy its fruity flavor and smooth finish. Our Drinking Umeboshi is made by blending the juice of fully ripened Kishu Minami plums with our unique blend of plum vinegar. The health benefits of plum vinegar and the flavor of Kishu Minami plums remain intact. We have created a delicious plum vinegar drink with a refreshing taste that spreads in your mouth with just one sip. It is a functional food product that helps reduce temporary fatigue after light exercise with the help of citric acid. Our Honey Ume Extract is made by combining plum flesh extract, which can only be made from 30g of green plums per 1kg, with honey. Two natural ingredients are concentrated in one small pill.
Kishu Nanko Umeshu
Our Product(s)
Fully ripened Nankou plum
Kishu Nankou Umeshu is an alcoholic beverage that is easy to make at home in various households throughout Japan, but in Minabe Town, it is common to make it using fully ripened plums grown on trees. It was developed with the desire to share the deliciousness of this plum wine nationwide. Drinking Umeboshi (pickled plums) is a popular habit in Japan, but the leftover Umezu (plum vinegar) during the pickling process often has little use and is discarded. However, it contains a significant amount of Nankou Ume (plum variety) components and was developed into a drink that can be enjoyed by those who do not like Umeboshi. In Minabe Town, Ume extract was commonly made and kept in households. By adding honey and putting it into a soft capsule, it became a more approachable and easy-to-consume product.
