🎌 Godaian Kishu Godai Ume

The "Godai-an," which sells the specialty product Kishu Godai Ume from Wakayama, has branches not only in Wakayama but also in Tokyo and Osaka. The flagship product, "Ume-dry," is a meticulous masterpiece that takes considerable time and effort, focusing on detail. The pickling process is particularly elaborate, requiring a long pickling period of about 30 to 40 days, and involves three separate pickling stages to allow the ume to gradually absorb the flavors. Through a series of strict processes, the taste evenly permeates the thick-fleshed, thin-skinned Kishu Nanko Ume, and it is said that even the ume's pit is quite delicious. Godai-an's ume-dry product lineup is quite rich, featuring various flavors and different salt concentrations. Among them, the signature "Kishu Godai Ume" is the top-tier product most suitable for gifting, available in exquisite packaging options such as wooden gift boxes or high-end gift boxes. It is worth mentioning that Kishu Godai Ume only uses A-grade Kishu Nanko Ume. Skilled artisans personally select the ume, ensuring they are free from scratches or spots and that the size of the fruit is relatively uniform. The balance of sour, sweet, and salty flavors in Kishu Godai Ume is quite perfect, not overly sour and with a subtle sweetness. It is a ume-dry product that maximizes the characteristics of Nanko Ume, which has a thin skin, thick flesh, small pit, and is soft and juicy. In addition to ume-dry, they also sell ume wine, ume juice, and other ume-related products.
