Jiichiro, the brand operator of premium Baumkuchen (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), will begin limited-time sales of its new sweet, "Aoume no Hitoshizuku" (A drop of green plum), on June 1, 2026.

Theme: "Gifting" "Aoume no Hitoshizuku" was created not as an everyday snack, but as a "special gift" to deliver the arrival of the season to cherished ones. It is designed to convey the sender's thoughtfulness, making it perfect for greetings, homecoming souvenirs, or mid-year gifts (Ochugen). The jelly condenses the refreshing aroma and essence of plums into a single drop, offering a luxurious, cooling experience.

Key Features 1. A Luxurious Harmony of Wakayama "Kojo" and "Nanko" Plums By luxuriously using rare "Kojo" plums and adding "Nanko" plum juice, the product maximizes the refreshing aroma and elegant acidity inherent to plums. 2. Smooth and Gentle Texture Focusing on texture, the product offers a refreshing, smooth mouthfeel. It delivers a pleasant coolness, complemented by a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. 3. A "Drop" Capturing the Season's Bounty With the aim of capturing the freshness of green plums, the jelly is crafted to retain a gemstone-like transparency and succulence.
