Kunizakari Jasmine Umeshu

Kunizakari Jasmine Umeshu is a Japanese plum liqueur from Nakano Sake Brewery in Handa, Aichi Prefecture, a brewery founded in 1844. It starts from umeshu made with Japanese ume fruit, to which jasmine tea is added, so the sweet-sour character of the plum is joined by a fragrant floral note. The export bottling is 720ml at 9.5% ABV, making it a light, low-strength liqueur.

Tasting Notes: Sweet-tart plum lifted by jasmine.

Nose: Sweet plum jam and fresh jasmine with a tea-like undertone.

Palate: Sweet and tart plum with jasmine tea and a hint of almond.

Serve: Chilled, on the rocks, or topped with soda.
