Nigori Umeshu (plum wine) from Koshu Umebayashi.
This is an extra post because it is a plum wine, but it is a sake based plum wine.
I was about to have a glass of sake when I came home,
My wife reported that she hadn't had Koshu Umebayashi's plum wine for a long time, and it had become mellower and less angular.
My wife is not a drinker, so I thought it was unusual and therefore went with it on the rocks.
It is a nigori plum wine with plum pulp, basically dry, and it may indeed have become mellower.
I bought it last spring at a direct sale at a brewery in the Koshu Plum Grove and had drunk more than half of it so far, and it had been sitting in my kitchen.
I think it is quite good👍.
As for sake-based plum wine, my personal favorites are from Niigata sake breweries
I personally like sake based plum wine from Niigata breweries such as Shimehari Tsuru, Koshino Katora, and Tsururei.
It matches my taste for sake.
