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.
