Kishu Umeboshi (Tanabe)
A single grain is enough to make you crave multiple bowls of rice—Tanabe City is a production area for Kishu umeboshi made from 'Nanko Ume,' a premium variety known for its thick, soft flesh. Nanko plums are characterized by their thin skin and small seeds; as they ripen, they turn more yellow, while the parts exposed to sunlight turn a vibrant crimson. Many farmers do not pick the fruit by hand, but instead wait for it to ripen and fall naturally. The traditional 'Shiroboshi Ume' (white-dried plums), which are pickled in only salt and dried in the sun, concentrate the natural umami of the plum and offer excellent preservation. With a wide variety of flavors such as honey-pickled and shiso-pickled, they are loved nationwide as a staple souvenir. Deep richness found within the tartness. A flavor that Wakayama is proud of and an essential part of the Japanese dining table.
