Description

This umeshu is made from "Himi Inazumi" plums, a variety grown in the snowy regions of Toyama, with small yet fleshy fruits, moderate acidity, and a pronounced flavor. The plums are macerated in sake brewed by the producer himself, and the liqueur then ages for 12 years, giving it a round and silky texture, a delicate sweetness, and a rare depth for an umeshu.

Flavor

Palate: Round and silky, with a frank acidity supported by a fleshy umami, balanced by a delicate sweetness that does not mask the fruit's character.

Finish: Long and deep, with a concentrated richness inherited from 12 years of aging.

Preservation

Store in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. After opening, keep refrigerated.

The producer

Wakatsuru Shuzo

Wakatsuru Shuzo is a distillery founded in 1862, located in the Tonami City, in Toyama Prefecture, known for its pure waters and lush vegetation. For more than 170 years, it has perpetuated the tradition of brewing and distilling, while adapting to the developments of its time. After starting out in sake production, the distillery moved into whisky in 1952. In 2016, its Saburomaru distillery, entirely dedicated to the production of smoked whisky, has been revitalized under the leadership of the new generation. Heir to know-how passed down through several generations, it aspires to contribute to the influence of Japanese whisky on a global scale, creating a whisky “that exists nowhere else”.
