Joshu White (Ume)
There are plums that, once fully ripe, release a sweet and mellow fragrance much like a peach. Joshu White is a representative high-end plum of Kyoto, cultivated in Aotani, Joyo City. Cultivation of this plum began during the Meiji era. It has been carefully preserved within the Aotani plum groves, which boast a history of approximately 680 years dating back to the end of the Kamakura period. The name 'Joshu White' is said to derive from 'Joshu,' representing Yamashiro Province, and the fact that the fruit turns white as it grows large. Its characteristics include thin skin, thick flesh, and easy seed removal. Whether used for pickled plums (umeboshi), plum wine, or syrup, it adds an exceptional flavor. This is a highly aromatic Kyoto plum nurtured by the hills of Joyo. It is a masterpiece you must taste at least once.
