Description: Umeshu is a traditional Japanese liqueur made from Ume fruit, sugar and alcohol. Unlike wine, which is made by fermenting fruits, Umeshu is made using a different production process and is typically based on cane spirits (shochu). The traditional production process of Umeshu ensures that it retains its authentic taste, and more than 90% of CHOYA's Umeshu products are recognized as authentic Umeshu. The Ume fruit is carefully selected and prepared, and then mixed with sugar and alcohol to create a unique and flavorful liqueur.
The taste of Umeshu is sweet and slightly sour, and its aroma is reminiscent of plums and apricots. Its unique flavor makes it a popular ingredient in cocktails and other drinks, and it can also be enjoyed on its own, either chilled or on the rocks.
