Among the various varieties of ume, only the nanko-umes of a recognized wakayama for their high quality are selected for this product. Nanko-ume has a very thin skin and a very small core that is ideal for the production of the umeshu.

The nanko-ume chosen are those have matured in the tree and have been harvested in the morning, having a soft and fruity flesh and the incomparable gentleness to honey notes, with woody accents, associated with the fishing scent or Aigre and fruity apricot as well as to the notes of Amandon.

The very particular aroma of this umeshu is due to the singularity of the barrels used, which served before the aging of whiskey, Brandy, Bourbon and Sherry, and have preserved the best fragrances.

This drink is to be enjoyed at the time of the aperitif or digestive, preferably very cool or on ice cubes. The most daring will attempt the support of subtle dishes during meal.

HEIWA SHUZO

Heiwa Shuzo since 1928

Located in a basin where it gets very cold in the mornings and evenings despite being in Wakayama prefecture known for its warm climate, with the three essential elements, rice growing, rich water and the climate suitable for Sake making, the exceptional Sake is made with care by Heiwa Shuzo, founded in 1928. We are in the heart of Wakayama prefecture, to the south of Japan's main Island, that the miracle happens. Carried along by master craftsmen in search of perfection, Heiwa Shuzo’s know-how can also be found in natural fruit liqueur, made without coloring nor additives. "Men created sake, sake created men"... Such is the philosophy of Heiwa Shuzo. A philosophy, rich in the knowledge we need, to understand that the choices the master craftsmen make regarding ingredients, processes and storage feed their demands of quality and their search for perfection.

Meaning of 紀土 – KID -

KID comes from the image of “Kishu (紀州) climate (風土)” (Kishu is the former name of Wakayama Prefecture) and also represents child innocence and freedom. The KID range created by Heiwa Shuzo aims to make thesake charm known to new generations of less knowledge who rarely consume it. Its pasteurization is called manual. The “Binkan Hiire” method is applied to some of the KID products: the sake is bottled but the bottles are not completely closed. They are first heated to + 65 ℃. This low pasteurization preserves taste and scents to the beverage and a nice freshness.

Commitment to liqueur

To produce world-class liqueur from fruits from Wakayama; this is our determination as well as an ultimate goal for us. (Wakayama ume (Japanese plum) production account for close to 60% of the total ume production in Japan.) We believe that ume-shu (ume liqueur) is the liqueur Japan should be proud of, which quality is high enough to meet international standard. While many liqueurs are produced with flavors, colorings, and acidulants, ume-shu is the liqueur that can have natural fruity taste without a use of such additives. Heiwa Shuzou started ume-shu production in 1995. Thanks to the Wakayama’s proud ume, support and research cooperation of Technical Center, and a great deal of trial and error of our craftsmen, we have succeeded in producing high-quality ume-syu. By producing such ume-shu of the highest quality of the world with the special attention to the ingredients, production method and cellaring, we would like to show our gratitude to the local people who have given us big support to develop this liqueur.
