Historical fact:
In Japan’s Heian period (794–1185), ume blossoms were more highly admired than cherry blossoms and were often featured in poetry and court culture as symbols of elegance and renewal.
Flowers and Season
Ume blossoms are among the first flowers to announce the coming of spring in Japan. They bloom while the air is still cold, often before cherry blossoms appear, bringing a quiet fragrance to gardens, temples, and mountain villages.
Because ume flowers bloom early, honeybees are not yet fully active, and the weather can still be unstable. This makes ume honey difficult to collect in large quantities. The harvest depends on a short flowering season, the strength of the bee colonies, and the timing of warm spring days.
Our Ume Honey is selected from early spring honey with a gentle floral aroma and soft natural sweetness. It is filled without heating in order to preserve its delicate fragrance and smooth taste. Please enjoy the calm and elegant flavor that reflects the first signs of Japanese spring.
