Yamato Village Plum Juice
In early summer, a bright red flavor arrives on Amami Oshima. Yamato Village is a major production area for plums known as 'Amami Plums.' Formally known as Garari, this is a small variety originally from Taiwan, and it is said that cultivation began from a few saplings around 1935. Today, Yamato Village has become one of the leading production areas in the prefecture, and this pride of the island has grown into a specialty that makes the annual Plum Festa lively every June. When fully ripe, they turn a deep red, with a striking balance of sweetness and acidity. The juice, made by squeezing these bright red plums, is sweet, tart, and refreshing. The flavor of fruit that has soaked up plenty of subtropical sunshine spreads softly with a single sip. Please enjoy it as a souvenir from Amami.
