From Hamada Farms in Wakayama Prefecture this rare single origin umeshu is made using all ume harvested at their farm. Additionally, they line the bases of the trees with blue tarp and wait for the ume to ripen and drop naturally. Because the ume are ripe and delicate, they need to soak their ume in shochu the day they drop from the tree. They also use special wasanbon, a fine-grained sugar traditionally made in Shikoku. This makes for an especially fruity flavor with enhanced aromatics. 

Yoko visited Hamada Farms in 2024, and included a review of the visit in her Wakayama Travelogue.
