Ume Festival Held at Kairakuen Garden in Mito
Plum blossoms are still early and almost all of them are in bud.
It was cold and windy, so we stopped looking for plum blossoms early and had a lunchtime drink at a store.
Masticating ume is a daiginjo from Yoshikubo Shuzo brewery in Mito.
The aroma is mild and refreshing.
Almost no acidity.
It's not too clean, so you can enjoy it while eating.
with homemade ankou ponzu (sweet bean paste vinegar)
