Very good as an aperitif especially in summer. Ume is a Japanese plum which is much more sour than typical European plums. In Japan, Ume are eaten as pickles and not as fresh fruits. These Japanese plums can also be used to make Ume wine: the Umeshyu. The Ume choosen by Leo Imai for Ume Lambic are sourced from Wakayama prefecture – the best reputed region for Ume.

Bottle, Vintage 2016. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is moldy basement, plums. Taste is moldy cellar, woody, plums. Dry finish, nice aftertaste, oily mouthfeel, doesn’t get chalky. The plum flesh character is nice, but it’s too dirty.

Bottle at RBSG. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is plum skin, funk, cheese, oak. Thin body, similar flavors to nose, light tartness, very good.
