Prunus mume 'Koshusaisho' (scientific name: Prunus mume 'Koshusaisho') is a cold-resistant deciduous shrub in the cherry family Rosaceae. It is Yabai-kei - Yabai-syou used for "koshusaisho" (pickled plum), which is mainly a fruit-harvesting miume (fruit plum). The flowers are small, but they are abundant and enjoyable.
It blooms from early to mid February. The petals are white, single, and small to medium-sized with a diameter of 1.5 to 2.0 cm, and the sepals are red.

The green plums in early summer are made into umesyu (plum wine), and the reddish fruits are made into dried plums.
The unique, irreverent name is derived from its origin, Koshu, and the fact that the fruit is the smallest.
