Nemoto Tsukemono Co., Ltd., plum specialist.

Since its establishment in 1935, Nemoto Tsukemono has been dedicated to the production of dried plums, from manufacturing, processing, and offering them for wholesale and retail.
In the Edo period, The 9th Feudal Lord of the Mito Domain, TOKUGAWA Nariaki established Kairakuen Park and had many plum trees planted that are both beautiful to look at and that can be used as emergency food. Nemoto Tsukemono has continued to produce dried plums for around 80 years in Watari Town, Mito, where Tokugawa's homebase was.

Mito Fukuyui Umeboshi

Mito Fukuyui Umeboshi

Mito Fukuyui Umeboshi is made with plums that we grow ourselves and we make sure to not use any pesticides or chemical based fertilizer during this process. We make sure to carefully sun dry our plums, and then add salt, an age old tradition that results in deliciousness.
They are known for being plump, large, soft and sour.
These plums are produced in a modern facility with strict hygiene management. Rather than machine dried, they are sun dried in a plastic greenhouse which results in a very rich flavor.
