Tobe Nanatori Koume (Small Ume Plums)
Tobe Town, well-known for its Tobe ware pottery, is also actually a famous producer of the small ume plums known as 'Blue Diamonds.' The small plums grown on the mountain slopes of the Nanatori district boast thick flesh and a soft texture despite their small size. Because the seeds are small and both the skin and flesh are soft, Nanatori Koume are considered ideal for making umeboshi and plum syrup as they absorb plum vinegar easily. In spring, pale pink plum blossoms bloom across the Nanatori orchards, covering the mountains, and the area bustles every year with the 'Nanatori Plum Festival.' When prepared as crunchy pickled plums or preserved with shiso leaves, their refreshing acidity leaves a lasting impression. Please try this other treasure nurtured by Tobe, the home of pottery.
