Organically grown Kishu Nanko plums
A key feature of the products produced by Takeuchi Farm is the Kishu Nanko plum, which is grown using organic farming methods.
Organic farming is a method of growing agricultural products that is based on avoiding the use of chemically synthesized fertilizers and pesticides, while making use of soil improvement and the functions of the ecosystem.
Since plums are fruit trees that are grown across seasons before the fruit is harvested, organic cultivation requires daily observation and continuous care, including dealing with pests, diseases, and weeds, as well as managing soil conditions. Engaging in this cultivation method also involves considering the use of pesticides and fertilizers while engaging with the environment in which the plums are grown.
Pickled plums made from organic Nanko plums, pickled in salt and sun-dried.
One of our flagship products is "Organic Pickled Plums." We use organically grown, fully ripened Nanko plums, pickled in natural salt and slowly sun-dried. No seasonings are added, resulting in a traditional flavor that highlights the natural acidity of the plums.
Unlike sweet, seasoned pickled plums, these plums have a distinct sourness and saltiness. They are a versatile addition to your daily meals, perfect for rice balls, ochazuke (rice with tea), or as a side dish with rice.
We also carry pickled plums made with specially cultivated Nanko plums. We offer a range of options, from economical packs for home use to gift sets, so you can choose according to your needs.
Not just pickled plums, but processed products that make the most of plums
We also offer a wide range of processed products that make the most of the appeal of plums, such as plum vinegar, which is produced during the pickling process, and plum paste that is easy to use in cooking.
"Organic Red Plum Vinegar" is a product made by adding organic red shiso to organic white plum vinegar. You can enjoy the aroma and color of shiso, and it can be used for pickles, seasoning dishes, dressings, and more. "Organic White Plum Vinegar," on the other hand, is a product that makes use of the plum vinegar produced when pickling plums.
"Organic Pickled Plum Paste" is a convenient product made from pickled plums in a paste form. It's great as a filling for rice balls, and also handy for adding the tartness of plums to dishes such as salads and dressings.
