Grown in the deep mountains along the World Heritage Kumano Kodo trail, tree-ripened organic Nanko plums are pickled in salt on the very day of harvest. These organic Umeboshi, crafted through three days and nights of sun-drying and aging, are freeze-dried to create these organic plum flakes. They are characterised by a mellow, clean acidity that is free of any harshness.

Since its founding in 1940, Fukami Ume Ten has always strived to create products that appeal to modern tastes and customer preferences while being true to producing traditional Umeboshi pickled plums. Since 2009, they have been cultivating organic plums on their own farm, located on a remote slope near a mountain peak, at the entrance of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage trail, where there is no concern of pesticides drifting in from surrounding areas.

Its strength lies in the fact that this organic field is completely pesticide-free.
