Plum saké (blend of plum wine and saké)
Sake-based umeshu usually shows a softer and milder mouthfeel. This limited umeshu is made by Kikusui, a prestigious sake brewery from Niigata Prefecture. Refreshing and gentle, it is fermented only by using the juicy, pulpy plums grown in Niigata Prefecture and Junmai sake made by Kikusui. With the mild acidity and sweetness, it is well-balanced and especially suitable for those who do not like sweet food.

Bottle sample at Narita Airport duty free, pours a hazy orange. Aroma is very sweet, with sweet plum juice, light lychee, and some boozy white wine. Flavour is like sweet plum juice, soft rice notes, light lychee and very gentle booze. Way too sweet for me.
