This article is about a 400g pack of umeboshi that プラムレディ株式会社, based in Minabe, Wakayama Prefecture, sells on Rakuten Ichiba through the shop “やさしさの梅樹園プラムレディ”. The product name says “紀州南高梅” (Kishu Nankoume, a plum variety), and it is sold as “wakeari” (訳あり, a Japanese shopping label for items sold with a stated reason), with amachazuru (あまちゃづる) in the ingredients and a salt content of 10%. The legal country-of-origin field is not confirmed on the product page, and an image on the page says Nankoume plums from Kishu Minabe are used. We organized the published product information and review-site entries into five points: amount, shelf life, ingredient labeling, gift handling and reviews. Its feature is that you can choose “tsubureume” (crushed plums, つぶれ梅), plums whose skin tore or whose shape collapsed, in a 400g pack (labeled as about 20 plums).
At a Glance
Key points
- One 400g pack (labeled as about 20 plums). The same product page also offers 800g (400g x 2), 3.2kg (400g x 8) and 4.8kg (400g x 12), but this article covers the 400g size
- The wakeari reason is “tsubureume” (crushed plums): the skin tore or the shape collapsed when the plums were packed into the container. The shop explains this in its product images. It also says plum sizes vary and cannot be specified
- Salt content labeled as 10%. The ingredients include amachazuru, reduced starch syrup, a sweetener (sucralose), seasoning (amino acids, etc.) and others
- Rakuten rating 4.71 (1,960 reviews). Viewed November 4, 2026. This is a combined rating for four sizes, not a figure for the 400g alone
Watch out for
- The storage method and best-before date are not found on the product page and are not confirmed. No manufacturer is stated either
- The product description says noshi (gift wrapping label) and gift wrapping are not available

- Amount
- One 400g pack. A product image shows about 20 plums and says the number of plums varies with the individual plums because umeboshi are sold by weight. The container measures 17 x 17 x 3.5cm. The page says it comes with a nylon inner bag inside the container, but another image announces that, because some packaging materials are hard to obtain, affected products will be changed to no inner bag in turn.

- A product image explains, in essence, that Kishu Nankoume plums are thick-fleshed with thin, delicate skin, so even when each plum is handled carefully, the skin may tear or the shape may collapse when they are packed into the container. Another image says that plums crushed during the making of regular products are packed in as they come, that extra-large, large, medium and small plums may be mixed or only one size may be included, and that the size cannot be specifiedSource: text in the product images on the Rakuten Ichiba product page (viewed November 4, 2026)

Rating breakdown: ★5 1,475 / ★4 411 / ★3 59 / ★2 12 / ★1 3 (as shown on Rakuten Ichiba, viewed November 4, 2026). The reviews are attached to a single product page that combines four sizes, so they are not a rating for the 400g alone.
Range read: the first 60 reviews in the default order (posted June 2009 to September 2026, the latest in September 2026), all 3 ★1 reviews (posted November 2018 to March 2023) and all 12 ★2 reviews (posted February 2010 to June 2026), 75 in total. The counts are approximate figures we counted by reading the reviews, and figures marked “about” are rough guides. Posts that are only about delivery or shop service are not included. These are tendencies within the range we read and may not represent the product’s current condition.
What Reviewers Praise

Soft flesh, large plums (about 12 of the standard 60)

- The Rakuten rating is 4.71 (1,960 reviews). Among the 75 we read, many mentioned the balance of flavor and the softness of the flesh
- The 400g size is labeled as about 20 plums, and the same page can also be switched to 800g, 3.2kg and 4.8kg
