Description : The 'Ohisama no Ko' plum coulis is made from 'Fukudayu' ume plums, an exclusive variety of the iconic Japanese apricot tree. Renowned for their round shape and vibrant orange color, these plums are grown in the Mikata Goko Lakes region of Wakasa Bay. Naturally ripened on the tree, they are harvested using a net as they naturally fall, unlike traditional plums, which are picked prematurely. The name 'Ohisama no Ko,' meaning 'child of the sun,' perfectly reflects their radiant appearance and sweet, fruity flavor. This product is an initiative by Urban Kitchen, a committed producer that transforms rejected fruits and vegetables to combat agricultural waste.
Flavor : This coulis is a true concentrate of ume plums, offering a sweet and fruity taste with no hint of bitterness, reminiscent of peach and apricot. Its texture is smooth and velvety, striking a perfect balance between fluidity and creaminess.
Use : For a touch of sweet indulgence, pair the coulis with yogurt, bread, pancakes, or cheesecake. It can also be enjoyed as a cold drink mixed with sparkling water, as a warm plum tea, or added to your juices and sauces. For savory dishes, it pairs beautifully with meats such as teriyaki chicken or duck breast, as well as roasted vegetables.
