Description
Unlike classic umeshus or plum liqueurs, our plums are soaked in Japanese sake (Junmai Ginjo). Sourced from local agriculture, the plums are soaked in sake produced from extremely soft water. It will be appreciated even by people who do not like sake. Because we use fructose, a fruit sugar, it is low in calories. Alcohol content: 10°
Flavor

Appearance: Orange-tinged color with milky highlights. Slightly cloudy with sediment.

Nose: The first nose is floral with notes of cherry blossom, followed by orgeat. The nose is fresh with a little licorice and ume. With aeration, the second nose goes more towards cherry brandy, apricot kernel and bitter almond.

Palate: The attack is tangy and peppery with Timut pepper and black pepper. The ume appears but discreetly. There is more cherry pit and bitter almond. The mid-palate is relatively dry accompanied by a refreshing acidity. The umeshu is floral with also a discreet note of cinnamon and sandalwood. Surprisingly, it is a frank and fresh umeshu with a hint of sweetness.

Finish: The finish coats the lips with residual sugars and makes you forget the umami flavor.
