Type: FRUITY SAKE
Alcohol content: 11.5%
Service temperature: 8°C
Ingredients: nihonshu, ume (Japanese plums)
DESCRIPTION
Light Japanese plum liqueur, made with a sake base and plenty of Japanese plums.
The ume are soaked in sake, releasing a naturally acidic taste, balanced by an initial sweetness and a slightly almond aroma.
We like it because it has a beautiful color and an intense aroma, but with a very balanced taste. Excellent as an aperitif or to accompany dessert, as well as fantastic in cocktails or served with ice (definitely try it in a highball with soda, tonic, or ginger beer).
FOOD PAIRING
In Japan, it is customary to drink it alone at the end of a meal or paired with a dessert.
It can be paired with the Japanese Ichigo Daifuku (sweet treats made from glutinous rice flour, mochi, filled with sweet bean paste and strawberry) or with our desserts. In this case, in summer the perfect pairing is ice cream, while in winter cakes or tarts. Also excellent paired with panna cotta or caramel cheesecake.
For those who want to experiment: try it with a summer vegetable curry!
CURIOSITY'
It is the traditional plum liqueur of country houses, produced once a year for local families.
