Ume (Japanese Plum) Extract

Concentrated extract of ume (Prunus mume) fruit, the basis of umeboshi, umeshu (plum liqueur), and umejam. Wakayama produces over 60% of Japan's ume by volume — its 'Nanko' cultivar is a registered GI variety.

Used in candy, beverages, fermented condiments, and increasingly as a flavour-and-functional input for export positioning.
