BREWERY

Founded in 1971, Kishu Honjo Umeyoshi began as a local ume grower in Minabe, Wakayama. Drawing on the region’s longstanding ume-growing tradition, it has developed a range of carefully crafted plum products that express the quality of Kishu Nanko ume.

PRODUCTION

Kishu Honjo Umeyoshi uses fully ripened Nanko ume from Minabe rather than unripe fruit for its umeshu. To preserve the natural flavour of the ume, sediment is removed gradually by hand without using processing aids. Each bottle is handmade in limited quantities.
