Akashi-Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu Sake

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

A firm summertime favourite, Umeshu is a liqueur made from plums, or “ume” in Japanese. Its sweet, fruity flavours make it a popular choice among many. The pronounced and vibrant taste of plums, macerated in Ginjo sake for 6 months and aged in enamel tanks for 2 years creates this ever so moreish drink.

Palate: dry fruit, date, cherry and plum. Sweet with rich prune, almond flavours. Refreshing long finish.

Food Pairings: great on its own with ice, or as a spritzer with a dash of soda but also great with chocolate pudding
