Manufacturer Introduction: Organic Kishu Nanko Ume
Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture is home of Kishu Nanko Ume. Built by Mr. Takeuchi, Takeuchi Farmers is committed to produce plums under a safe and secure environment.
At Takeuchi Farm, crops are produced without pesticides or chemicals. Therefore, natural insect repellent such as homemade liquid fertiliser composed of fish, crab, garlic, turmeric and more, are used on top of pyroligneous liquid.
Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture is blessed with temperate climate due to the presence of the Kuroshio Current- the warm northeasterly ocean current off the coast of Japan.
The high rainfall precipitations and long daylight makes it a suitable ground for growing plums. The high-quality plums are cultivated using medium-quality soil which absorbs much calcium during the growth period. "Uridani Ishi" is a stone common in this area which contains plenty of calcium necessary for plum growth.
Takeuchi Farm not only cultivates high quality plums using organic and traditional methods, but also involve hands-on in the entire process of packaging and shipping products to our consumers.
As plums are harvested in their unripe state in the morning, great care and deliberate skills are required to pick and sort them without causing any damage. The plums are usually divided into two standard sizes, small and large.
We are devoted to produce high quality plums and deliver carefully selected plums to our customers. We care significantly for the freshness of our products and will continue to explore creative ideas to transform Umeboshi into delicious juices, jams and wines.
