Joyo Umeboshi Confectionery

A sweet aroma, much like a peach—. This Japanese confectionery, made with the 'Josu Hakubai' plum—a specialty of Joyo City—is characterized by its elegant sweet and sour taste. Josu Hakubai is an extremely rare type of plum that is cultivated only in the Aotani area of Joyo City. Produced since around the Meiji era, the plums are grown until they are just about to ripen and fall naturally from the tree. The fruits are large with soft flesh and feature a rich aroma reminiscent of peaches. It is said that they were named 'Josu Hakubai' because the fruit turns whiter than other plums as it grows large. This confection, which brings out the flavor of these rare plums, offers a taste that can only be found in Joyo. Please enjoy the sharp acidity balanced within its gentle sweetness.
