KAMOTSURU UMESHU PLUM WINE 賀茂鶴酒造 梅酒 (純米酒仕入) 720ml
Elegant, mellow, and beautifully balanced — a premium umeshu brewed with Junmai sake.
Produced by Kamotsuru Shuzo (賀茂鶴酒造) in Hiroshima Prefecture, Kamotsuru Umeshu (梅酒〈純米酒仕込〉) is a refined plum liqueur crafted with Junmai sake as its base, rather than distilled spirit.
This sake-based style creates a softer, more rounded flavour, enhancing the natural sweetness and tang of Japanese ume plums. Expect gentle aromas of ripe plum, rice, and honey, followed by a smooth texture and delicate umami finish — a sophisticated, modern take on traditional umeshu.
