Currently, we have planted a total of approximately 700 plum trees, including those for ornamental and cross-breeding purposes. Among these, the most widely planted variety, 'Josyu White,' is a rare cultivar primarily grown in the Aotani region of southern Kyoto Prefecture. It is characterized by its large size, thick flesh, and a rich aroma reminiscent of peaches. Furthermore, its good sugar penetration rate makes it ideal for making plum wine and plum juice. After harvesting these plums, Kanou Shoujuan ages them in its own plum storehouse and processes them into ingredients for popular confectionery, such as 'Shino' and others.
