Premium Wakayama Green Nanko Ume

This set features Nanko Ume, the highest-grade plum variety from Wakayama, Japan’s most renowned plum-producing region.

Known for its thick flesh and high extract content, Nanko Ume delivers exceptional aroma and depth of flavor—making it the ideal choice for premium umeshu.

This set uses carefully selected young, unripe green plums, harvested at the perfect stage.

Unlike ripe plums, green plums offer a fresh, vibrant fragrance and a clean, sharp acidity, resulting in a crisp and refreshing umeshu with a refined finish.

Taste & Experience

Green Nanko plums create a lively aroma with bright acidity and a refreshing character.

As the umeshu matures, the flavor gradually softens, developing into a smooth yet clean profile with remarkable clarity.

The balanced, non-cloying taste makes it perfect for enjoying on the rocks or with soda—an elegant, food-friendly drink for everyday enjoyment.

Craft with Naebasan Sake – A Refined Expression

The result is a clean, elegant, and well-balanced umeshu with added complexity.

Storage & Handling (Important)

Store in the refrigerator upon arrival and process as soon as possible.
Green plums are delicate, and their condition changes over time—freshness is key.

Plums must always be processed (such as making umeshu or syrup) before consumption.
