Nanko Ume from Wakayama Prefecture

This plum is from the Kinan region and is also known as the Kishu plum in Wakayama Prefecture. Plum has been called the ``chief of medicines'' since ancient times, and recently there has been increasing interest in it as an alkaline health food. We used Nanko plums, which are suitable for processing such as pickled plums and plum juice.
