Umeshu

Umeshu is a traditional Japanese alcoholic drink made from Japanese plums called "ume" and distilled alcohol. Ume are macerated for several months, creating a sweet and fruity drink. Plums are picked by hand, underripe to keep the freshness of the fruit. They are then transported to the Kura (Japanese for brewery) to be processed. Stalk and the rest of the calyx are removed by hand. Plums are then washed. They are immersed in 28% vol. sugar cane alcohol to which sugar crystals are added. This maceration will be carried out during the 6 hottest months of the year.

=> Only 720 ml bottles come with their own special cardboard packaging.

The best ume plums musts, sweet and flavorsome are selected and aged in natural wood casks for 10 years.

It is a rare umeshu, very high quality variety, known for its very large, peachy-scented fruit when harvested at full maturity.
