Akashi Tai Sake, Shiraume Umeshu

Tasting Notes

Akashi-Tai Shiraume Ginjo Umeshu is a premium Japanese plum liqueur made by macerating hand-selected ume plums in high-grade Ginjo sake. While conventional umeshu is typically made using cheap, neutral distilled spirits (like shochu), Akashi-Tai replaces this with artisanal sake crafted from Yamadanishiki rice. This artisanal method results in a much smoother, richer, and more complex flavour profile.
