Located in Kamitonda, Wakayama Prefecture, Yasashi Umeya produces certified organic plums free of pesticides, artificial fertilizers and additives since 1940. The plums are used all year round for different purposes. Plums harvested in May are sold unaltered or used to make syrup or liquor while plums harvested in June are cleaned in the purest water and buried in a salt based preparation for approximately a year to make umeboshi. Nowadays, the fourth generation of Yasashi Umeya perpetuates traditional methods to cultivate and harvest plums as well produce high quality umeboshi sold in Japan and all over the world.
