This is an umeshu that is made by soaking Tochigi prefecture’s premium “Miya no ume” plums in Houou Biden’s Ginjo sake. It is not filtered after this, so some pulp remains within the body of the umeshu which contributes to a slight cloudy appearance and delicious intense flavours as it ages. The ageing period for the umeshu is not disclosed by the brewery but this umeshu exemplifies the huge strides they are making with their fruit liqueur range.
Pour over ice or serve chilled in a wine glass to enjoy the distinctive aromas. Strictly an adult drink with relatively high ABV which is so well integrated into the body that it is deceptive.
