"Plum Kingdom" Wakayama: Enjoy Seasonal Plum Wine and Plum Drinks at "Umeshu One-Shot Bar" - Kyukamura Nanki-Katsuura to Implement "Umeshu One-Shot Bar" from May 11 (Mon)

Toast the Wakayama way with daily changing plum wine and plum drinks before dinner!

Kyukamura Nanki-Katsuura (Location: Ukui, Nachikatsuura-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture; Manager: Yasuhiro Kawakatsu), a resort hotel located in Yoshino-Kumano National Park, will implement a limited-time "Umeshu One-Shot Bar" for guests from Monday, May 11.

◆Wakayama's unique ordinance that changes "Beer for now" to "Plum wine first!"

In Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture, one of the leading plum-producing areas in the prefecture, the "Umeshu de Kanpai Ordinance" was enacted in 2013. This ordinance aims to expand plum consumption by encouraging toasts with plum wine and plum juice made from Kishu plums, and actively promoting plum products such as umeboshi. It also seeks to further establish the Kishu plum brand, promote and develop plum-related industries, revitalize the region, and maintain and improve the health of citizens. It is a unique Wakayama toast culture that changes the phrase "Beer for now!" at banquets and drinking occasions to "Plum wine first."

The "Umeshu One-Shot Bar" was born from the inspiration of such a city ordinance. It embodies the desire to have visitors experience something unique to Wakayama during this season when plum harvesting is at its peak.

◆Daily changing plum wine available! Non-alcoholic plum juice also for those who don't drink alcohol

The Umeshu One-Shot Bar, set up in front of the dinner venue, offers a different plum wine every day. Guests can enjoy a different plum wine each day of their stay. In addition, non-alcoholic plum juice is also available for guests who do not drink alcohol and for children. This is also a plum drink made from Kishu plums, allowing you to feel Wakayama.

◆Restaurant also offers a wide selection of plum wines! Plum wines also sold at the shop during the period!

If you like a plum wine, you can order it additionally at the restaurant (extra charge). Since plum wines other than those offered at the One-Shot Bar are also sold, you can also "compare plum wines." A limited quantity of rich premium plum wines is also available.

During the period of the Umeshu One-Shot Bar, sales of plum wine at the Kyukamura shop will also be strengthened, so you can purchase your favorite plum wine as a souvenir.
