The story

In June the ume tree by the deck is heavy with fruit, green turning to blush. Come out with a colander and pick a few with your host, then hear how the house makes its umeshu: the fruit, the dark Okinawan sugar, the long wait. You take the recipe home in your own language. The umeshu itself is a story here, never something we pour or sell. It's free for guests staying in June.

The Kagoshima red plum by the deck flowers in February and fruits in early summer. If you stay in season, pick a colander-full with us, hear how we make our umeshu, and take a bag of fruit home with the recipe.

Free for guests staying in June. The umeshu is a story and a recipe to take home; it isn't served or sold.
