Type: Fruit Sake 

Alcoholic content: 14.5%   

Serving temperature: 8 ° C   

Ingredients: Ume (Japanese plums from Ibaraki Prefecture), alcohol, and fructose.

DESCRIPTION 

Kiuchi Umeshu is obtained by distilling Hitachino Nest Beer into a beer brandy, into which plums are then immersed. The flavor of the plums perfectly complements the hoppy taste of the beer. Fructose is also added to enhance sweetness. It presents a refreshing hop aroma, a light sweetness, and a pronounced acidity.

Excellent as an aperitif or to accompany desserts, it is also fantastic in cocktails or served over ice (definitely a must-try in a highball with soda, tonic, or ginger beer).

 

FOOD PAIRING 

This umeshu pairs well with both sweet and savory dishes, thanks to its aromatic complexity.

Try it with soft and creamy cheeses such as Camembert or Brie. The contrast between the fruity sweetness of the liquor and the richness of the cheese creates a delightful pairing. Or with a selection of dried fruits, such as nuts and almonds, which complement its natural tones.

For dessert, we recommend a light cheesecake or a cream cake, but also a lemon or mango sorbet, which are even more refreshing.
