Umeshu

A blend derived from the maceration of “Golden Japan” plums

Tasting notes

Crafted from the maceration of prematurely harvested “Golden Japan” plums from Moissac and immersed in a distilled liquor from WAKAZE’s sake lees, WAKAZE’s Umeshu is distinctively fresh with noticeable acidity and a delicate fruity profile.

This liquor, less sweet than its Japanese counterparts, provides a balanced and refreshing taste experience, designed to appeal to both purists of Japanese spirits and those new to this world !

• Appearance: Bright with a golden hue.
• Nose: Pronounced, with fresh ume (Japanese for plums) aromas complemented by fruity nuances from the distillate.
• Palate: Creamy texture reminiscent of the rice used in its crafting, with a touch of acidity, followed by a gentle sweetness. Light and refreshing finish.

A slight deposit linked to natural ingredients may appear, this does not alter the quality of the product.
