Although often referred to as the \"Japanese plum\", ume is in fact, from a botanical standpoint, closer to the apricot.\u003cbr\u003eGrown exclusively in the Kanazawa region (Ishikawa Prefecture) and in the neighbouring prefecture of Fukui, the Benisashi Ume takes its name from its intense, brilliant red colour: \"beni\" means red and \"sashi\" means lustre or brilliance. Naturally richer in amino acids than other ume varieties, it develops softer aromas, a particularly mellow texture and a deep umami richness.\u003cbr\u003eAlso used in the production of premium umeboshi, this variety is known to be difficult to cultivate. Its production is limited, notably because the branches bear fruit only once every three years. This rarity, combined with its exceptional flavour qualities, makes the Benisashi Ume one of the most prestigious varieties in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tasting side, for this umeshu aged for 5 long years, we discover a drink with a honeyed, amber colour.

This particular variety grows only in the city of Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture) and in the neighbouring prefecture of Fukui. \"Beni\" means \"red\" and \"sashi\" means \"brilliance\". The name therefore represents the deep, brilliant red colour of ripe Ume. Benisashi Ume contain more amino acids than other Ume varieties. Due to the higher proportion of amino acids, the Benisashi Ume has a softer aroma and an intense, mellow umami flavour. This variety is also used to make high-quality umeboshi plums. It is difficult to cultivate and its yield is lower than other ume, as the branches bear fruit only once every three years.
