Premium Wakayama Nanko Ume

You can craft two different styles of umeshu at the same time using:

・Fresh green (early harvest) plums
・Fully ripened golden Nanko plums

Using the same ingredients and method, you’ll experience how the maturity of the fruit transforms the final flavor.

Bright, fresh aroma with crisp acidity.
Produces a clean and refreshing umeshu with a sharp finish.

Ripe Nanko Ume (Golden Plums)

Rich, fruity fragrance with natural sweetness.
Creates a smooth, mellow, and deeply rounded umeshu.

Same variety, completely different expressions—
a unique opportunity to explore the depth of Nanko Ume.
