Wholesale & Export EnquiriesFrom the Plum Orchards of Oyama
In the hills around Oyama in Hita, Oita Prefecture, plum cultivation is part of the local landscape and heritage. Each spring, the orchards bloom against the surrounding mountains.
Our team at MARUEI TRADES has visited the area and the producer's facilities firsthand. The photographs on this page document that visit and the place behind the products we introduce to international buyers.

Meet Ooyama Yumekobo
Based in Hita, Oita Prefecture, Ooyama Yumekobo produces a distinctive range of Japanese plum liqueurs, including matured selections and beautifully presented gifts.
Its location connects the region's agricultural heritage with hospitality and tourism. Our visit offered a closer look at the producer's facilities and the surrounding landscape.
The barrel photograph illustrates the producer's facilities; it does not imply that the featured Nanko Ume liqueur is barrel-aged.

Selected for ANA International Business Class
Nanko Ume no Kodawari Umeshu was previously selected for in-flight service in ANA’s international Business Class. This recognition highlights the appeal of its carefully matured, richly aromatic plum flavour. The reference is to a past selection, not a claim of current onboard service.
More Than a Bottle
Oyama's plum-growing culture is reflected not only in its liqueurs, but also in the landscape and local hospitality. The nearby Okuhita Onsen Umehibiki is one example of how the region welcomes visitors.
Past hospitality placements relate to selected products in the producer’s range.
Attack on Titan & the Creator's Hometown
Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama comes from Hita, Oita Prefecture. According to information confirmed directly with the producer, his mother continues to supply locally grown plums to Ooyama Yumekobo.
Plums from the Isayama family farm have also been used in an officially licensed Attack on Titan umeshu collaboration. The story connects a globally recognised manga with the local plum-growing community.
