稲積 (いなづみ)
'Inazumi' is typically grown for fruit, but will produce enjoyable flowers, and can also be used for bonsai. Known in Toyama (Himi city), this cultivar produces medium-size fruit (~25grams) with relatively small seeds and thick flesh. Like 'Bungo' and 'Jumbo Takada', 'Inazumi' is considered more cold hardy than other Ume cultivars, and its upright growth habit makes it less susceptible to snow damage.
