PRODUCTION

With a few exceptions, Nakata Foods makes its umeshu from tree-ripened Nanko ume. The fruit is harvested only after it falls naturally, then washed, sorted and immediately steeped to preserve its aroma. Its umeshu is made with Tonda-no-Mizu, local underground spring water from Wakayama.
