【Kadotama Umeshu (Plum Wine)】
A plum wine crafted with authentic rice shochu by the brewery famous for "Seiko Udoku"
This Kadotama Umeshu, celebrated for the refreshing quality and nutritional richness of natural plums from Kagoshima, was the first plum wine to be exported from Japan to the United States in 1958 (Showa 33). It is made by aging rice shochu, distilled at atmospheric pressure, for three years, and then macerating it with plums for an additional year of aging.
The refreshing and rich flavor of the plums is preserved by minimizing filtration. As a result, you may see plum pulp settled at the bottom, which is proof that it is packed with the delicious essence of the fruit.
It features a honey-like sweet aroma and a well-balanced harmony of elegant acidity and sweetness, resulting in a crisp finish that keeps you coming back for more.
This is a plum wine where you can truly taste the rich plum extract within its well-matured, rounded flavor profile.
The brewery also recommends drizzling it over vanilla ice cream.
