Eco Farm Mikata Co.,Ltd

Original nonsweet umeshu called [BENICHU]

Speaking of umeshu, the plum sourness and soft sweetness are combined to represent the Japanese fruit liqueur. Not only are we valuing the production of umeshu, but we are also working on unique product development. Because the needs of consumers are countless (sweet flavor, dry taste, low or high-alcohol, etc.), we are challenging ourselves to develop non-existent taste, and we are increasing little by little the number of nonsweet umeshu drinkers.

The region of Wakasa in Fukui Prefecture has been a plum producing area since 180 years. We are devoting ourself to use only fresh raw materials and to produce aromatic umeshu. We are using a type of umeshu called [Beni-Sashi] which is diffcult to harvest and rare. Our product has been named [Beni-Sashi] because the sun is making the surface of the fruit slightly reddening, and because on the fruit it seems like lipstick have been applied.
