11th June Is Umeshu Day! Celebrate With Uniquely Flavoured Umeshu!

What Does Umeshu Have to Do With Rain?

梅酒与雨有何关系呢？

Nyubai is one of the zassetstu (seasonal days created to match Japanese seasons as opposed to 24 Solar terms which were imported from ancient China), and it falls on June 10 or 11 every year, the 135th day after Risshun (first day of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar), when the solar ecliptic longitude reaches 80 degrees.

入梅是日本杂节之一（日本本土节气，不同于来自中国的24节气），每年的 6 月 10 日或 11 日，即立春后的第 135 天（日本传统历法春天的第一天），当日太阳黄经达到80度时。

In the old days, Nyubai was the beginning of the rainy season (nowadays, with the development of weather information, the start of the rainy season is announced separately), and it was a particularly important date for Japanese people in determining the time of rice planting. It is also the time when ume plums ripen and are ready for harvest. Thus it makes sense that this day, when harvest of green ume, the essential ingredient for umeshu, reaches its peak, is designated as Umeshu Day.

在过去，入梅是雨季的开始(如今随着天气信息的发展，雨季的开始是单独宣布的)，这是日本人确定水稻种植时间的一个特别重要的日子。这也是梅子成熟，准备收获的时候。因此，这一天被指定为“梅酒日”也是有道理的，因为这一天是收获绿梅子的顶峰时刻。
