This year, we have expanded our plum syrup lineup for those who don’t like alcohol but want to work with plums, try different flavors, and make it with their families and children.
Plum syrup is dyed in beautiful pink or red depending on the variety of plum, and you can enjoy the color as well as drinking it. It has a refreshing taste and is perfect for getting through the coming hot summer.
It also takes about 7 to 10 days to complete after pickling, so it’s recommended for those who want to make it and drink it right away. Special handicrafts that can only be enjoyed at this time of year, making you feel the season with your eyes and scent.
Why not try making your own plum wine or plum syrup, the only one in the world? Please enjoy watching the food become more delicious day by day.

agricultural products, and using mown undergrowth as compost without using herbicides.
2. Purple Queen from Wakayama Prefecture
[Image 4: https://prtimes.jp/i/45487/148/resize/d45487-148-070a39378d9f2f729f1c-3.jpg&s3=45487-148-661caaeb71cba1ceed39ce5c7d86371c-1920×1280.jpg] The only “Koume” and “Purple Queen” in this lineup. The bright red-purple fruit is eye-catching and is very popular every year! Plums are rare due to their low harvest, but we have prepared them for the “Plum Work Kit” this year as well. The resulting syrup turns red in color and has a sweet and sour cherry-like taste. It is also recommended to use it in cooking instead of sugar.

The shape of the fruit is almost the same as Nanko plum, and as the name suggests, it is a magnificent plum! Although it was delivered a little later than Purple Queen, it is very popular with many customers who enjoy comparing the drinks. The syrup is a little thinner than Purple Queen, and has a slightly pink color.
Although more than 20 years have passed since its discovery in 2002, it is a rare plum whose harvest is still small.

A brandy exclusively for fruit wines that gives a mellow finish to fruit wines. It has a rich aroma and a mellow taste that you can enjoy it as is. You can enjoy a different kind of plum wine with a more gorgeous aroma than when made with white liquor. The flavor and richness develops as it ages, so it is also recommended for those who want to enjoy aging slowly.
[Sugar] Hokkaido sugar beet rock candy
Rock candy made from sugar beets (sugar radish) grown in the land of Hokkaido. The rock sugar, which has been carefully crystallized over two weeks, slowly melts in the bottle and extracts the ingredients stored in the plums, resulting in plum wine and plum syrup that are rich in flavor.
