Premium Plum "Tsuyuakane"
A hybrid of Japanese plum and Japanese prune,
Tsuyuakane is characterized by larger fruit size and
more attractive vivid red fruit pulp than other varieties.
With a mellower flavor and higher sugar content,
Tsuyuakane has been gaining attention in recent years as a plum variety
suitable for products such as umeshu (plum liquor) and plum juice.
Rarity of Tsuyuakane stems from the fact that it requires a lot of
processing time and effort, such as after-ripening and freezing.
Furthermore, compared with other plum varieties,
Tsuyuakane contains more citric acid and anthocyanin.
It is expected to improve health by relieving fatigue and
establishing a well balanced diet.
Painstaking way of umeshu production
We make every effort to cultivate "Tsuyuakane" to enhance the taste of this premium plum.
The normal height of a Japanese plum tree is 3 to 4 meters. But we dare to prune it at 1.5 meters so that each fruit can be well nourished, resulting in large, high-sugar fruits.
We pick plums when their fruit is still green and apply the after-ripening process to give them a brighter, more beautiful red color.
The after-ripened Tsuyuakane contains about 60 times more anthocyanin than existing plums.
We further preserve the ripened Tsuyuakane by freezing it for one to two years.
Then, we steep them into sake to produce Shunkorei.

Customer Reviews
We have received many pleasant reviews from those who have actually purchased our products.
Here are some of them.
Brandy-based Umeshu
It was very tasty, with little acidity but abundant sweetness and a brandy richness.
It feels like a sense of luxury different from common umeshu.
I bought it for myself this time, but I would like to buy it as a gift next time!
Shochu-based Umeshu
I bought this as a birthday present for my father. He loved its refreshing taste and drinkability!
Out of curiosity, I tried it myself with soda water. I'm not a hard drinker, but this one was very tasty and I had a couple drinks.
Plum Wine
I was surprised that this wine was made only from plums, because the wine has an image of grapes.
This sweet wine has a low alcohol content and is easy to drink thanks to its low astringency.
It is rich in polyphenols and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants, so it seems to have a great effect on women as well!
