Every day, we harvest freshly picked green plums called "Hobai" early in the morning.
SUGI BEE GARDEN 's green plums are grown in its own plum orchard in Yamaga City, Kumamoto Prefecture.
Our in-house beekeeping staff make these with great care.
Plums pollinated by the bees grow into high-quality plums with lots of flesh.
There are two varieties, "Oushukubai" and "Nankobai".
The plum tree that is currently being harvested is the Uguisu-shuku plum tree.
This variety produces plum extract easily, making it perfect for making plum wine or pickled plums in honey!
In addition, because the fruit is very delicate and breaks easily, the beekeeping club members carefully hand-pick each fruit,
We also carefully check the items at the time of shipment.
Nankou plums, which are recommended for making umeboshi plums, begin to be harvested around June, so we will be reporting on that as well!
