A Celebration of Wakayama's Finest Plums on JA Town

The picturesque Wakayama prefecture, renowned for its exquisite plums, has officially launched the sale of its seasonal harvest on the JA Town online marketplace. This initiative is part of their subshop, "Kokokara Wakayama Marche," managed by the Central Union of Agricultural Cooperatives (JA Zennoh). To commemorate the first anniversary of Kokokara, they’re offering a generous 500 yen discount coupon to the first 2,000 customers through April 30.

For an impressive 61 years, Wakayama has dominated in terms of plum harvest volume across Japan. However, the past two years have seen weather-related adversities leading to significant decreases in supply. Fortunately, this year’s early growth signals a return to form, and the shop is already offering a variety of plum options suitable for pickling and making alcoholic beverages, including the charming “Koume,” the luscious “Kojou,” and the vibrant “Purple Queen.” More varieties, including the esteemed Nanko plum, are anticipated to hit the shelves around April 20, depending on weather conditions.
