Plum essence is very popular in Japan and is a traditional health food in Japan. During the Meiji Restoration, it was a sacred object of the royal family. In 1970s, karoshi became more and more serious in Japan. Plum essence began to enter the middle class and some ordinary families and became a necessary drink for families. Plum essence has been circulated in Japan for more than 100 years, and is deeply loved by middle-aged and elderly people, and is honored as a "sacred product for health preservation".
At home, the commercial development of plum essence has yet to be developed, especially the deep processing of the raw material of plum essence.
