Late February to Early March
Plum Blossom
Plum blossoms, called ume in Japanese, are very familiar to Japanese people. The red or white flowers are a typical seasonal feature to announce the advent of spring in Japan. While plum trees feast the eyes of people on beautiful flowers, plum fruits are served as drying pickled plums, and products like liquor, vinegar and jam.
