Homemade Plum Wine Set. Ripe Plum vs. Early Harvet Plums [13th ~ 14th June Delivery]

Important Notes:
・Please note that our plums are harvested while still green and naturally turn yellowish as they ripen day by day. Therefore, they may not be fully green upon delivery.
・Once you receive your plums, please store them in the refrigerator immediately and begin making your umeshu as soon as possible.
・If the plums ripen too much and become overly soft, they may disintegrate during the soaking process. To avoid this, prompt refrigeration and early preparation are strongly recommended.
