“Umeshu,” commonly called plum wine in English, is a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage using ume fruit. Today, different kinds of umeshu are produced all over the world, typically with a shochu or sake base. It’s also something you can make at home by steeping fresh ume fruit in alcohol and sugar for several months. At Tippsy, you’ll find various sake-based umeshu with varying tartness and sweetness.
