Tagami Ume (Plum from Tagami)
These are fragrant plums grown in Tagami Town, one of Niigata's premier plum villages. Tagami Town features a Plum Grove Park at the foot of Mount Gomado, known as a famous plum spot with approximately 2,000 trees, including white, red, and weeping plums. The blossoms begin to open in mid-March, and the town becomes lively in April with the 'Tagami Ume Matsuri' (Plum Festival). In the plum orchards adjacent to the park, the 'Koshi no Ume'—a brand of Niigata-grown plum characterized by its soft skin and fleshy pulp—is cultivated. Pickled plums and plum wine made from the local harvest are representative specialty products of Tagami. Each carefully prepared piece is perfect as an accompaniment to rice or for enjoying with evening drinks. Please enjoy the rich, nourishing flavor that captures the essence of spring in this village.
