Aiyu “Plum Sake”
Ibaraki prefecture
$28.00
More sourness than sweetness
Using “Shiro-Kaga” plum grown locally in Ibaraki prefecture, Aiyu brewery’s plum sake keeps minimum sweetness with strong natural sourness from plums. Lower calories than average plum wines makes this a healthy choice to drink with hearty meals. Great summer drink that matches with meat dishes. Drink it on the rocks or with club soda.

Great sour plum flavor! Love the balance of sweetness.
This sake has delicious sour notes. I tried the pairing with soda and it was absolutely incredible.

Delightful sourness and a great price for the flavor.
The sake is quiet delicious and enjoyable as well as fairly priced for the bottle.
Beautiful and delightful bottle, flavorful profile.
A great summer drink though not my favorite. Personally, I prefer yuzu sake which blends citrusy and sweetness better.
