Ume (sour Japanese plum) have been a part of Japanese culture for more than 1300 years.

In 1897, in Tanabe, Wakayama Prefecture, in southern Japan, Nakata Gengiro founded our company. Now Japan’s leading ume producer, we offer a full lineup of umeboshi (salted pickled ume) and umeshu (ume liqueur, sometimes called plum wine). Let us introduce you to the samurais’ superfood and an essential part of washoku, or Japanese cuisine.
