◆Nakano Umeshu is made 100% with local Nanko-ume grown in Wakayama, a region known for its ume. The origin of our company's flavorful umeshu is found in this product. The components of umeshu are mostly malic acid and citric acid. Made with green fruits of Nanko-ume grown in Kishu Wakayama, our umeshu is characterized by a higher ratio of citric acid in comparison with other products made with regular ume fruits.

◆Citric acid is the reason why umeboshi (pickled ume fruits) are good for our health (help recover from fatigue, etc.); it has components that facilitate recovery from fatigue and inhibit the lactic acid, and is ideal for those who are on a diet. Enjoy the excellent interplay of the initial sweetness of umeshu and the refreshing sourness that follows; it is characteristic to umeshu produced in Wakayama, the home of finest ume. Since both the sweetness and sourness of this product are highly concentrated compared to umeshu of other manufacturers, you can enjoy the flavor of ume whether it is served on the rocks or mixed with soda.
