Kaga Umeshu Aged 2 years If You're Unsure Which Umeshu to Choose, Start HereThe Ultimate Taste Created by Master CraftsmenIt is made exclusively with Benisashi-ume (red-budded plum) from the Hokuriku region. This premium variety contains higher levels of amino acids compared to other high-grade plums, resulting in a richer umami and smoother taste. Known for its challenging cultivation and limited harvest, Benisashi-ume is considered an exceptionally rare variety. Their production method stays true to traditional techniques. They carefully brew using only green plums, rock sugar, and brewing alcohol. This time-honored approach successfully brings out the natural flavor and umami of the plums to their fullest potential. Why We Pick This? The most notable feature of this umeshu is its perfect balance of flavors, achieved through approximately 2 years of aging. It offers both concentrated umami from the plums and a clean, crisp finish. The combination of fresh aromas and deep, complex flavors creates an exquisite balance. This is an absolute must-try for any plum wine enthusiast. The Artistry of Two-Year AgingThe two-year aging process brings remarkable changes to this umeshu. It achieves an exquisite balance between fresh plum aroma and deep flavors, with perfect harmony between sweetness, astringency, bitterness, and acidity.
