KIUCHI SHUZO UMESHU 木内梅酒 500ml

Produced by Kiuchi Shuzo (木内酒造) in Ibaraki Prefecture, Kiuchi Umeshu is an artisanal plum liqueur brewed with the same care and creativity that made the brewery world-famous for its Hitachino Nest Beer.

This sake-based umeshu is crafted using locally sourced Japanese ume plums steeped in Kiuchi’s Junmai sake, allowing the pure fruit character to shine. Expect delicate aromas of honeyed plum, apricot, and vanilla, with a smooth, well-rounded sweetness balanced by gentle acidity — rich yet refreshing, never cloying.
