Nanko Ume (Tanabe)
When you pick up a single plum, the plump, thick flesh melts away in your mouth. With thin skin and small seeds, a gentle acidity and saltiness spread softly through your palate. Known as the highest luxury brand of pickled plums, Nanko Ume's soft flesh and rich aroma make it so delicious that you can easily finish an entire bowl of rice just by topping it with one. The origins lie in Minabe Town and Tanabe City in Wakayama. It all began during the Meiji era when Teikusu Takada discovered and cultivated these large-fruited plums, which were later recognized as the finest variety. It is said that the name 'Nanko Ume' was derived from a combination of Nanbu High School, which assisted in the research, and Mr. Takada's name. A single plum atop freshly cooked rice. This is a treasure of Tanabe that has long been a staple of the Japanese dining table.
