Shimeharitsuru “Umeshu”

When ume fruit is soaked in brewed sake instead of a distilled hard alcohol, it results in a soft mouthfeel and what they call a kind, forgiving flavor. The interplay between sour and sweet pairs incredibly well with spicy foods as well as appetizers, such as nuts, cheese, dried fruits and salads. Their classic Shimeharitsuru brand uses soft water to offer a clean and enjoyable finish.
