Nanko Ume (Minabe Town)
Plum blossoms bloom as far as the eye can see—Minabe Town is the famous production area for the premium 'Nanko Ume' variety. Wakayama Prefecture accounts for the majority of Japan's plum harvest, with Minabe Town at its heart. Nanko Ume is a high-quality variety characterized by thick flesh and small seeds. In February, the plum groves throughout the town are covered in white flowers, creating a breathtaking landscape. Many farmers carefully collect fruit that has ripened and fallen naturally. The agricultural system of Minabe and Tanabe, which combines traditional production of plums and Binchotan charcoal, has been recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS). The pickled plums (umeboshi), salted and sun-dried, possess a deep richness and abundant acidity. This is a proud single grain produced by Japan's premier plum village.
