Restorative Warmth in Every Sip — Soothing Japanese Organic Instant Drink

Marushima’s Japanese Plum (Ume) Honey Ginger Tea is a beloved Japanese Organic Instant Drink rooted in tradition. Made by Junsei Shokuhin Marushima, a trusted natural food producer based in Onomichi, Hiroshima, this beautifully crafted Japanese Organic Instant Drink brings together three powerhouse ingredients — all sourced entirely from within Japan.

There is a reason this Japanese Organic Instant Drink has endured in Japanese households for generations. It is not fashionable in the way trends are fashionable — here one season and forgotten the next. It is enduring in the way that truly nourishing things always are: because it works, because it feels good, and because the ingredients behind it carry centuries of Japanese wellness wisdom. Ume (Japanese plum), honey, and organic ginger are not newcomers to the world of natural health. They are three of Japan’s most time-honoured ingredients, and Marushima has brought them together with the kind of quiet expertise that only comes from decades of dedicated craft.

Each sachet of Japanese Plum (Ume) Honey Ginger Tea — Japanese Organic Instant Drink delivers a gentle balance of:

  • 🍑 Organic Japanese ume plum — tangy, restorative, and rich in natural citric acid
  • 🍯 Hiroshima Prefecture honey — sourced from the renowned Hanafusa Apiary
  • 🫚 Organic Japanese ginger — whole ginger, including the skin, slowly simmered in a traditional direct-flame kettle for a deeper, richer flavour

Let’s talk about what each of these ingredients actually brings to the cup. Japanese plum — known in Japan simply as ume — has been used in traditional Japanese medicine and daily nourishment for over a thousand years. The ume plum is tart, mineral-rich, and deeply restorative, valued for its natural citric acid content and its long-standing association with digestive health and morning vitality. Eaten as umeboshi, steeped into teas, pressed into syrups — ume is woven into the fabric of Japanese food culture in a way that few other ingredients are. In this Japanese organic instant drink, organic dried ume plum powder delivers all of that tradition in a single, effortlessly dissolving sachet.

The result is a warming, subtly sweet drink that feels both nourishing and comforting — perfect for cold mornings, chilly evenings, or whenever you need a moment of calm.

✅ Lightly sweetened — clean, refined flavour

The honey used in this Japanese organic instant drink is not generic sweetener. It is sourced specifically from the Hanafusa Apiary in Hiroshima Prefecture — the same region where Marushima itself is based — and it carries with it the particular floral character of the Japanese countryside.Raw, local honey has long been regarded in natural wellness circles for its gentle antimicrobial properties and its rich enzyme content, and the decision to source it locally rather than substitute a cheaper alternative speaks directly to Marushima’s commitment to integrity in every sachet. When you stir this into hot water and taste that soft, natural sweetness, you are tasting Hiroshima itself.

And then there is the organic ginger — perhaps the most quietly transformative ingredient of the three. Marushima’s approach to ginger sets this Japanese organic instant drink apart from any other warming drink on the market. Rather than using a simple dried ginger powder, Marushima slow-simmers whole organic ginger — skin and all — in a traditional direct-flame kettle.

This method draws out the full depth of the root, including compounds concentrated in the outer skin that are typically discarded in commercial production. The result is a ginger note that is warming and complex, with a rounded heat that settles in the chest rather than catching sharply at the back of the throat. It is the difference between ginger as a flavouring and organic ginger as a genuine ingredient.

The Ume Honey Ginger Tea is the kind of Japanese Organic Instant Drink that slots into daily life with remarkable ease, and yet manages to elevate it at the same time. Morning or evening, before a walk or after a long desk-bound afternoon — there is no wrong moment for a cup.

The ritual of preparation is itself part of the appeal: the simple act of tearing open a sachet, pouring hot water, watching the powder dissolve into something warm and golden and faintly fragrant with organic ginger and ume. In Japanese wellness philosophy, the value of a practice lies not only in its benefits but in its repeatability — and this is a drink you will want to return to, day after day.

How to Prepare

  1. Empty one sachet (12g) into a mug
  2. Add approximately 100ml of freshly boiled water
  3. Stir well until fully dissolved
  4. Adjust the amount of water to your taste
The summer serving suggestion deserves a special mention. Dissolving the sachet in hot water first and then chilling or freezing it transforms this Japanese organic instant drink into something entirely new — a bright, tangy, lightly sweet cold drink built around the natural acidity of Japanese plum and the cooling properties of organic ginger.
Served over ice, it makes an elegant alternative to commercial soft drinks, entirely free from artificial additives and loaded instead with the clean, honest flavour of organic Japanese ingredients. It is one product, two seasons, and infinite occasions.

Summer tip: Dissolve in hot water first, then chill or freeze for a refreshing cold drink!

Please Note

  • This Japanese organic instant drink ontains honey — not suitable for infants under 12 months
  • Some natural undissolved particles may appear — this is normal and does not affect quality
  • Take care when handling hot water
It is worth acknowledging the small print in the most positive terms possible: some natural undissolved particles may appear in your cup. This is not a flaw. This is evidence. Evidence that what you are drinking has not been over-processed, stripped of texture, or engineered into a perfectly homogeneous powder at the cost of its natural character. The ume, the organic ginger, the honey — these are real ingredients with real substance, and occasionally that substance makes itself known. It is, in the truest sense, a Japanese organic instant drink that is exactly what it says it is.
