Kenjo Tamura no Ume (Plum of the Tamiura Lords)
An elegant Japanese confection that captures the atmosphere of the plums once loved by the Tamura clan, lords of the Ichinoseki domain. Produced by Shoeido in Ichinoseki, founded in 1903. It is said that the first generation created this sweet to honor the refined taste of the Tamura clan—lords renowned for their academic and poetic talents who particularly loved plum blossoms. Each piece is like a petal, consisting of candied plums wrapped in gyuhi (soft mochi) and encased in a shiso leaf. This 'Kenjo' (Imperial Tribute) grade is an exceptional version of this historic confection. It is a subtle yet deep flavor where the faint acidity of the plum harmonably blends with the aroma of shiso. This masterpiece allows you to taste the history and elegance of Ichinoseki in a single bite.

Densho Tamura no Ume
The standard version of 'Tamura no Ume,' produced by a long-established shop in Ichinoseki that continues to preserve traditional manufacturing methods passed down through generations. It features a three-layer structure: candied plums wrapped in gyuhi (soft mochi) and then enveloped in a red shiso leaf. This representative confection of Ichinoseki achieves a trinity of flavors: the acidity of the plum, the chewy texture of the gyuhi, and the aroma of the shiso.
