Damascena Harvest

Damascena flower


What is Damascena Rose?

In Bulgaria, the climate of the "Valley of Roses," with its abundant, high-quality natural water, well-drained soil, cold winters, and high humidity, nurtures highly fragrant roses, and the Bulgarian damascena has been considered the finest for over 300 years.

Damascena has particularly strong aromatic effects, and rose water and rose oil made from Damascena are highly prized and still valuable.



■Background of Rose Umeshu Development

With the cooperation of a rose garden in Kanoya City, Kagoshima Prefecture, dozens of roses were started to be cultivated as a new tourist attraction in Nanki-Shirahama. We wondered if we could create a new taste of Umeshu (plum wine) by blending it with Umeshu (plum wine) from our region, and after repeated trial runs with the sommelier of the world-famous MGM Hotel in Macau at the time, Rose Umeshu Sparkling was launched simultaneously at MGM The Rose Umeshu Sparkling was launched simultaneously at the MGM Hotel and in Japan.
