Description

Legendary Ume Products Company

Nakata Foods has been involved in Tanabe’s ume industry for 120 years.

Our headquarters houses our large factories, which have viewing decks where you can see the production process for yourself. Come learn about ume cultivation and harvest, and find out how these amazing traditional foods are made.

We offer guided English tours or self tours (dependent on schedule). Both will give you a deeper understanding of the pillar of Tanabe’s agricultural industry.

Our spacious store is constructed from local lumber with traditional methods. There you can try samples of many kinds of umeboshi salted ume pickles and umeshu fruit liqueur, and then make your own ume syrup for juice or umeshu liqueur to take home!

Our campus also features an excellent art gallery where traditional art is displayed. Come see our rotating displays and enjoy its peaceful atmosphere.
