For those who can't wait for the fruit to mature, juicy looking 'aoume' (青梅) offer a nice, sweet alternative.
Shioyoshiken's (塩芳軒) annual offering...

Oimatsu's 'ao-ume' (青梅), a sweet we often serve to guests this month🙌 Ume fruit picked on June 16th is known as 'kashō-no-ume' (嘉祥の梅). There is a superstition that if you dry out the plums and eat them then you will escape misfortune and other disasters✨ #嘉祥の梅 #梅 #ume #Kyoto #京都 #wagashi #和菓子 #老松
