Plum details

Benei is a variety representative of Fukui Prefecture, the largest production area on the Sea of Japan coast. The name comes from the way it turns a slight red color when exposed to sunlight.
Although it is a variety that can withstand severe cold, it is sensitive to heat, and production has been on the decline due to global warming in recent years.

At Choya, we harvest Benei after it has reached a certain stage of ripeness, and offer Benei with a strong sour taste. It has an orange peel-like aroma and a soft fruit with a silky texture.
