We use a quality species “Nanko-ume” for making Ume liqueur among the many species. 

“Nanko-ume” is the produce of Wakayama, where Nakano BC is located, We make an effort to acquire the Ume fruits of quality, 

by making contracts with the “Nanko-ume” farmers near the Minabe Ume Orchard, well known farm in Japan.

The fruit of Nanko-ume is very big in size, with a relatively smaller stone, 

and features thick and soft flesh. Among Nanko-ume of thick flesh, 

there are of various size ranging from very big ones and rather small ones, 

We only use ones of big size and high quality.
