It was probably in 1907 that plums really started to be sold in the market. At that time, most farmers pickled plums in their own homes, and only some plums were purchased by merchants and processors. By 1961, Japan amended its liquor tax law, and farmers brewed plum wine that was approved by the government. Consumption of plums was once again enriched and demand increased dramatically.
Japanese plum culture
Today, in Japan, plums are consumed in an extremely rich variety of ways, such as sour plums, plum wine, plum jam, plum paste, and plum drinks. Dried plums, plum wine and plum powder are inseparable from the consumption of plum products in the daily life of Japanese people. Even for three meals a day, Japanese people are expected to use plums as an appetizer. In Japan, plums are popular with everyone from the Prime Minister to the general public. Every year, on June 6, Japan celebrates Umeko Day, and festivals of all sizes are held throughout Japan.
The plum culture has the same roots and origins as the plum culture of Japan and the same root. In recent years, the exchange of related industries between China and Japan “through the medium of plums” has become more frequent and professional. In the future, each plum in the Uryu plum family will retain the nutrients contained in the plum to the maximum extent possible, and each plum containing a variety of natural organic acids will be used to form a plum culture of Japanese food.
