Umenoyado梅の宿の梅酒 黒ラベル
みきっき
This luxurious plum wine is an even richer version of the standard "Umenoyado's Plum Wine". It is made from both domestically grown green plums and fully ripened plums, and soaked in Umenoyado's sake. In the mouth, the refreshing aroma of plums spreads, and the elegant flavor of sake lingers in the aftertaste. Because of its rich ume aroma and flavor and high alcohol content, it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, such as on the rocks, with soda, or with water.
The brewers of Umenoyado Shuzo, a famous brewery representing Nara Prefecture, wash each plum seed by hand and carefully soak them in sake brewed by the brewers themselves. The sake is soaked once a year. The plums are soaked in early summer, when they are harvested, and matured for about six months before shipping. The sake is bottled specially without filtration, and is unfiltered.
It has a full-bodied plum wine aroma, and when you drink it, it is very soft on the palate, but also has a full-bodied flavor. The flavor is full of plum extracts and overflows. The sweetness is moderate and not clingy, and the aftertaste is pleasant.
It is of course delicious straight, but since it is an undiluted sake, we recommend serving it "on the rocks," where it does not become too thin even with ice. Hot Umeshu with hot water is also good on cold days!
