Daishichi Kimoto Umeshu 720 ml

Daishichi aspired to create a superior plum liqueur (umeshu) different from all existing plum liqueurs. That was the ultimate ambition leading to the creation of Daishichi’s first liqueur, Kimoto Umeshu. To secure a constant, ample supply of high-quality Japanese plums (ume), they opted for large Nanko plums from the major plum growing area in Wakayama prefecture. Instead of the distilled liquor generally in use, they decided to make their liqueur with sake. And that sake, of course, had to be kimoto sake. After neutrally testing various types of sake, they selected the stock of Junmai Kimoto, the epitome of umami. This umami gently envelops the sourness of the plums, creating a mellow harmony and making it unnecessary to use a lot of sugar. As soon as it was released, Kimoto Umeshu swept up first prizes in several liqueur competitions and was instantly adopted by restaurants with Michelin stars around the world.

 

Daishichi Kimoto Umeshu offers a harmonious blend of rich plum flavors and subtle, earthy notes from the traditional Kimoto method. Its aroma is a delightful combination of ripe plums and a hint of almond, while the palate reveals a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity with a smooth, velvety texture. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering taste of luscious plums with a touch of umami. 

 

Kimoto Umeshu is a great aperitif, or it can be enjoyed after meals with desserts such as fruit, cheese, or pies. It is best enjoyed chilled to around 10-13°C (50-55°F).
