Factory Store

Our factory store is made from two varieties of Kishu lumber in the traditional manner. The new building was completed on March 30th, 2012, and its facilities include a rock garden and flowing stream, and tasting corners for umeboshi and umeshu.

The Orchard Gallery

The former store location has been remodeled into a gallery, where ume-related artworks are displayed. The ume has been admired in Japan since ancient times for its flower, which blooms in the cold of winter and its fruit, useful in many ways, and that affection is celebrated in these artworks. Paintings, hanging scrolls, and pottery are all displayed here, and rotated often for your enjoyment.

Self-Guided Factory Tour
