Description
Ao “Green” Ume is essentially refers to un-riped plum, which is most commonly used in the preparation of Umeshu (梅酒). Fortunately or unfortunately, it is available for a fleeting few weeks every year. This year, we are working direct with farmers in Wakayama, stay tuned to our socials for updates!
Most Umeshu 梅酒 recipes call for plums that are unripe, and it’s best to use them while they are firm and green. However, do note that it’s completely normal for plums to have some slight reddish-brown patches!
Pre-order
- Availability: early Summer (usually in late May / early June, for a period of 2 weeks)
- Preparation method: steeped in white liquor with rock sugar (you will get some nice earthy flavours in your homemade Umeshu 自製梅酒)
- Storage and use: with all perishable items, shelf life of fresh produce is short, and we recommend steeping them as soon as possible (or at most, within 1 to 3 days of receiving your delivery). Prior to that, the plums should be dried and laid flat before being stored in the chiller to prevent bruising and rotting.
- Note: While the plums are checked before being air flown to Singapore, we do a final round of quality check before they are sent out to customers in Singapore. Should you have any issues with your plums, do inform us via WhatsApp on the same day in which delivery is received with images. After which, we will not be held liable or be able to process any refunds for quality issues.
